What does media look like in the post-Trump era? Axios CEO and co-founder Jim VandeHei is betting that newer companies like Axios will have an easier time bridging the divide between the two “bubbles” of media that have emerged. With four years under its belt, the upstart media publication is applying its formula to local news in 2021. A lean editorial staff will write up the news in Axios’ signature, bullet-point style in five cities, including Tampa Bay and the Twin Cities. VandeHei also gives his take on trends like “corporate social responsibility” advertising, revenue diversification and AI in journalism.
