Antigua.news is a digital news and opinion portal founded in 2022 by Ambassador Dario Item as the official news channel of the Embassy of Antigua and Barbuda in Madrid, focused on delivering coverage of current affairs in Antigua and Barbuda, as well as key global breaking news.
Description
In May 2023, Antigua.news made headlines with Ambassador Item’s bold disclosures regarding the Credit Suisse AT1 bonds financial scandal. This investigation revealed inconsistencies with statements within Swiss government and Swiss financial authorities in the week preceding the bank's collapse. The relevation was prominently covered by Financial Times, Reuters, Finews and other major news outlets. The Financial Times considered the story published by antigua.news as "one of the most consequential European banking scoops of the year".
Antigua.news is recognized by the international press as a primary source for comprehending the Credit Suisse AT1s case. According to Finews:
When it comes to the latest upheavals in the financial world's executive floors, the «Financial Times» is usually well-informed early on. It's also a common tactic at the local banking hub to prepare the markets for profound news through the British newspaper. Yet, in the heated legal battle concerning Credit Suisse's (CS) mandatory convertible bonds (AT1-Bonds), where nearly 16 billion Swiss francs are at stake for the parties involved, the British paper was repeatedly outpaced by the obscure «Antigua News»: Time and again, the news portal on the Caribbean island, unknown outside of it, reported faster and, above all, was exceptionally well-informed about the negotiations.
Throughout 2024, Antigua.news continued to provide groundbreaking insights and reports, reinforcing its role as a key player in the Caribbean media landscape. It was the first to report on significant events such as the tragic death of MP Asot Michael, the resignation of UPP MP Anthony Smith, and serious charges against a medical practitioner.
The outlet's commitment to quality journalism has been acknowledged by Antigua and Barbuda Global Music & Media Awards (ABGMA), which awarded Antigua.news the title of Best Online News Media of the Year for both 2023 and 2024. The website also made the final list of several other categories.
Several well-respected regional online media organizations like Dominica News Online also recognized Antigua.news and its owner for the work it has been doing over the years.
