Axel Springer’s Politico plans U.S., Europe expansion – CEO
Politico plans to expand in its home market of the United States as well as Europe as part of a five-year plan focusing more on regional policy-making centres, the chief executive of the news website said in comments seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
