👋 Hi there! Holly Moore, executive editor for Axios Local, here.
This week, 115 Axios employees from 30 cities nationwide are meeting in Minneapolis for our annual Local team retreat, including Alex, Alexis, Ashley, Katie, Laura and McKenzie.
Why it matters: Getting together allows us to share best practices, setting the foundation for our continued growth as we aim to prove that our model for local news is sustainable nationwide.
Between the lines: Axios Local launched four years ago, with 13 reporters covering five cities.
With a newsroom that stretches from Seattle to Miami, in-person time is incredibly valuable.
This week allows us to peel away from Zoom meetings and other distractions and focus on how our product best serves you.
The bottom line: Thank you for allowing us the time and space to do this.
