Founded in 2016 by Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz, Axios was created to provide concise and efficient news coverage, focusing on delivering information quickly and clearly. The founders, who previously worked at Politico, came up with the idea to address the growing demand for news that could be consumed easily in a fast-paced world. Axios is currently owned by its founders and a group of investors who support its mission to streamline news consumption. Axios covers a wide range of topics, including politics, technology, business, health, and media. The publication aims to keep its audience informed with short, to-the-point articles that highlight the most important aspects of a story. Based in Arlington, Virginia, Axios serves readers across the United States and beyond, providing insights into both national and global issues. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of Axios is its distinctive writing style known as "Smart Brevity," which focuses on delivering news in a format that is quick to read and easy to understand. This approach has set Axios apart in the media landscape, catering to readers who want to stay informed without spending too much time on lengthy articles.
