NEW: Axios is laying off 50 people across the company. CEO @JimVandeHei just sent out this note -- which says the layoffs are because of "changes in the media business"

You know that despicably stupid "Why It Matters" style of "reportage" they do?


And why is it necessary to fire these "reporters"? Well, see, there is "shifting reader attention" towards... "partisan" sites.


See, Axios isn't "partisan." They're just straight-shooters.


But "partisan" sites are draining readers from them.

You know that despicably stupid "Why It Matters" style of "reportage" they do?...{ai:summary}In a world where facts sway like feathers in the wind, Axios just slashed 50 of its so-called journalists, citing shifts in the media landscape. Their CEO clutching a note, lamenting the rise of partisan voices while positioning his company as the lone purveyor of unbiased news.The irony hangs thick in the smoke-filled air of modern reporting, where integrity is the first casualty. It seems the audience prefers a good yarn over the straight dope, and in this game of survival, Axios learned the hard way: the truth can be awfully lonely. #media
