About Antuerp
We are an independent media company born from a simple idea: highlight the stories that would have otherwise been left in the dark.
Our name "Antuerp" pays homage to the city of Antwerp, which became one of Europe's most important early printing centers in the 16th century. Just as the city's legendary printers like Christophe Plantin helped democratize knowledge and spread new ideas throughout Europe, we aim to shine a light on stories that deserve to be told.
In a world full of algorithms, relax as we curate a feed that isn't designed to serve the tech overlords but you! From emerging technology and cultural shifts to political commentary and social movements, we investigate the stories that shape the modern world.
What sets us apart? We are not beholden to corporate oligarchs or editorial agendas. We follow the stories where they lead us, allowing facts and deep research to guide our reporting.
This story starts with five creators from different parts of the world joining together to pursue their passion for storytelling and carve their niche in the media industry. Together, we are all tasked with fulfilling the overall vision and mission.
