Stephen Axeman’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

Writer interested in exploring the cultural undercurrents that pool into the varied expressions of human resiliency, innovation, and form the bedrock of the myths that sustain our shared experiences. Wherever words synthesize, or wherever demystification can illuminate, that's where I am traveling to. Huge fan of music, film, literature, and the Earth. Duende is my favorite word.

Speaking of the changing face of the indie-sphere and the disintegration of its broader social cohesion she is cautiously optimistic. “We aren’t mourning the loss of a particular scene, like we used to, say 15 years ago.

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job as a journalist was covering the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. I did not see that one coming.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

You know I have. Thank you, Gina.

How is social media changing news?

Well, it has both a democratizing and polarizing effect. They are giving me like 20 words to answer this complexity. Power to the people.
