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),[2] and two daily podcasts.
On September 1, 2022, Cox Enterprises completed its acquisition of Axios.[3]
