Axios is an American news website that covers topics such as politics, business, technology, media, science, and more. Axios was founded in 2016 by former Politico journalists Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz. The site’s name is based on the Greek word “axios,” which means “worthy”.
Axios articles are typically brief and matter-of-fact in its signature Smart Brevity style; most are shorter than 300 words and use bullet points, making scanning easier. In addition to news articles, Axios produces daily and weekly industry-specific newsletters and two daily podcasts.
