Cox Enterprises Acquires Axios Media Inc.
Cox Enterprises announced the acquisition of Axios Media Inc., a company dedicated to delivering vital, trustworthy news and analysis in the most efficient ways possible. Cox Enterprises has a long history in media and is committed to scaling and expanding Axios into more cities, covering more national topics and more premium niches for professionals. This acquisition follows a previous investment by Cox Enterprises in the fall of 2021 and is part of Cox’s ongoing goal to grow and diversify the company.
“With so much happening in the world, Axios plays a critical role in delivering balanced, trusted news that people need,” said Cox Enterprises Chairman and CEO Alex Taylor, who will join the Axios board. “Our company started in the media business, and we have always had a passion for journalism. Bringing a forward-thinking organization like Axios into Cox Enterprises is exciting for us on many levels, and we look forward to helping them continue to scale and grow.”
Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen and Roy Schwartz will continue to hold substantial stakes in the company and will lead editorial and day-to-day business decisions.
