1 big thing: In 2023, Axios will launch a new centralized news hub bridging the newsroom’s national and local coverage.

• The new team of reporters and editors will synthesize reporting from Axios’ national news team and Axios Local cities to identify key stories and trends emerging across the country.
• Hub reporters will also produce data-driven coverage, special weekend reports and city guides for Axios Local newsletters, breaking down how national trends impact readers’ communities, and the latest updates in key areas like entertainment, real estate and sports.  
• Holly Moore will join Axios to oversee the hub as managing editor. She joins Axios from USA TODAY, where she was previously senior director of audience, planning and operations. She coordinated journalism coverage between USA TODAY and Gannett newspapers across the country and will bring that experience to Axios’ hub mission to produce collaborative content for newsletters and web properties.

Why it matters: As Axios and Axios Local continue expanding, The hub will streamline editorial operations and facilitate collaboration across the newsroom. 

• “Axios’ news team has a unique wealth of expertise not just on specific topic areas, but from on the ground in communities across America. The hub will further connect the dots between our coverage areas to help audiences get smarter, faster on the issues poised to shape our generation,” said Sara Kehaulani Goo, editor in chief of Axios.

Go deeper: Hub reporting will debut in late January 2023. Axios is currently hiring an editor and reporter for the hub’s entertainment coverage and will continue expanding the reporting team throughout the year.
