Youp

Youp Troost is the founder and CEO of Inter Bellum News. With a background in politics, journalism, and strategic communication, Youp launched Inter Bellum to offer a sharp, balanced alternative to both mainstream and fringe media. He believes journalism should inform rather than inflame, with a strong focus on depth, integrity, and narrative context. Youp has a particular interest in European affairs, the Middle East, and Russia, regions he has studied extensively and continues to follow closely. His knowledge of these areas informs much of Inter Bellum’s geopolitical coverage and long-form reporting. At Inter Bellum, Youp leads the business and strategic direction of the platform, builds partnerships, and ensures the editorial vision remains independent and mission-driven. His goal is to build a media platform that goes beyond headlines to tell the full story — and why it matters.
