Jim VandeHei: How Axios is navigating a post-news era
America's information ecosystem is badly broken, deeply polluted and increasingly dangerous.
We've entered the post-news era. Your reality — how you see the world — is no longer defined by "the news." Instead, it's shaped by the videos you watch, the podcasts you listen to, the people you follow on social media and know in person, and the reporting you consume. www.axios.com/2025/12/16/a...
