Christine Buhagiar is Director of Development and Diversification. A graduate of Sciences Po Paris and the CFJ, she worked as a reporter on the political and economics desks before becoming London News Editor. Upon returning to Paris, she oversaw the creation of AFP’s video operation, initially in France and later in London, where she expanded its English-language output and international client base.

Appointed Europe Director in 2015, she supervised coverage of the war in Ukraine and positioned AFP within EU-backed media support programmes focused on fact-checking and innovation. Since last summer, she has also been developing new AFP services for corporate and institutional clients.
