In the age of social media, our attention spans are getting shorter.
Being concise has never been more important, yet we often find ourselves overexplaining and losing our train of thought.
When it comes to brevity and direct reporting, the journalists of the American news portal Axios prevail.
Founded in 2016, Axios provides readers with only the most relevant information, delivered in matter-of-fact articles no longer than 300 words.
In Smart Brevity, Axios co-founders and media experts Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz share practical advice on how to say what we want using fewer words.
