About
Axios launched to combat what it calls the 'crap trap' — the incentive of traditional media to mass-produce clickbait to drive engagement and higher valuations — and has spent its first decade making vital topics easier to consume and understand for smart professionals. The company says it has helped millions get smarter, faster on what matters most, without an opinion page adding more partisan noise. Axios Local currently operates in 34 cities and plans to expand into seven new suburbs to test building viable local news businesses in smaller communities.
