Terri White
Editor-in-Chief, Empire
Reimagining the 30-year-old magazine for a new generation of movie buffs
Terri White is editor-in-chief of Empire. An award-winning editor with 19 years’ experience on both sides of the Atlantic, she joined in 2015 from Time Out and led a radical reimagining of the magazine prior to its recent 30th birthday. In this in-depth interview, Terri describes how its “weirdly disparate” team of movie geeks translate their passion for film into every page, speaks out against unpaid internships and the lack of opportunities for budding journalists from disadvantaged backgrounds, and reveals how they maintain exclusive relationships with movie studios while still giving honest reviews.
