Why Nobody Trusts the News — And How to Fix It

Ed Elson sits down with Jim VandeHei, co-founder and CEO of Axios, to discuss how AI is reshaping the media industry, what role it should play in newsrooms, and why he believes AI will ultimately make human journalism more valuable. They also discuss how distrust in the media influenced his decision to launch Axios, where he draws the line between journalism and commentary, and what he makes of today’s rapidly changing media ecosystem.
