Axios (website)

Axios (stylized as ΛXIOS) is an American news website based in Arlington, Virginia. It was founded in 2016 and launched the following year by former Politico journalists Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz. The site's name is based on the Greek: ἄξιος (áxios), meaning "worthy".

Axios's articles are typically brief and matter-of-fact; 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 (including Allen's Axios AM, a successor to his newsletter Politico Playbook for Politico), and two daily podcasts.

On September 1, 2022, Cox Enterprises completed its acquisition of Axios.
