About Axios

Axios is a digital news company founded in 2017 by former Politico veterans (Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, Roy Schwartz) with a simple mission: to make you smarter, faster. They realized that people's attention spans are shrinking, so they invented a writing format called 'Smart Brevity'. Instead of burying the lead in a 2,000-word article, Axios stories use bullet points, bold text, and specific sections like 'Why it matters' and 'Go deeper' to give you the news in seconds. They cover everything from politics and tech to media and local news, respecting the reader's time above all else.
