We launched Axios Des Moines five years ago, and we're so thankful to have been a part of your daily lives ever since.
How it started: Axios was mostly known back then for its national political reporting, but in 2021 our company's founders wanted to expand its smart brevity newsletter concept into local markets and see how they would perform.
Tampa Bay, Twin Cities, Denver and mid-size Des Moines were selected for the launch, due to our engaged news audience. The experiment is now a full-fledged daily commitment to hyperlocal journalism!
The big picture: From reading news of consequence to guessing where Jason's at, thank you for letting us be a part of your inbox every day.
Here's to five more years of bringing you news, levity, humor and community.
