Claim your profileHi, I'm Sam, and I'm a cybersecurity reporter at Axios and author of the twice-weekly Codebook newsletter. As my newsroom's sole cyber reporter, I report on pretty much all cybersecurity issues that matter to a general audience. Artificial intelligence, nation-state hacks and election security are top coverage priorities in 2024, but I also focus on stories about government surveillance/spyware and ransomware. When pitching, keep in mind that Axios isn't a trade publication! Make it clear in the email why a general audience should care. No product announcements. Of note: I only accept PR pitches via email — sam.sabin@axios.com — not via DMs, cold calls or Signal (but if you're a gov't/industry source trying to leak secrets..... Signal: 202-642-4580)
