Axios is a business that goes beyond journalism. Their intention is to transpose their idea of journalism to the rest of the world’s aspects. As they mention, the goal of their events is to suggest an analysis of the most transformative and consequential trends that build our actual world. This way they try to join their journalism to productions that complete their meanings. They offer a channel to subscribe in so that everyone can be able to participate and get involved in the productions they investigate in. Their events are really all about conversations with professionals and experts on relevant topics, this way they have gotten involved in climate change, politics, social issues…
These are some of the productions or events they have been working on:

UNDERSTANDING CRYPTO-HYPE 🡪 They have also positioned and talked about this new modern trend in a conversation on the future of crypto adoption. In this conversation, industrial technology reporters Ryan Lawler and Lucinda Shen developed the idea of how the crypto industry plans to improve its legitimacy, as a valuable way of ‘payment’ as well as its regulatory framework.

Another interesting interview of that first season was to the former president of the United States: Donald Trump, in an interview where he affirms railing against his enemies in the media had helped him win. In the second season of the documentary, one of the most important interviews is to the president of Iraq Barham Salih, who dodges when asked the chances that Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi would remain in power in the wake of deadly anti-government protests but expects that he will.
