I think Axios fits what you're describing much better. Vox is a boilerplate left-biased blog[1], with their only unique quality being a sneering insistence that they're just "explaining". They're like the Economist, but without the self-awareness or quality.
Axios, on the other hand, is much better at the just-the-facts style of reporting, to the extent this is possible. They even use a non-traditional article format, making heavy use of bullet points and standardized paragraph headers like "Why it matters".
[1] Not to treat them as the final word, but Allsides has their bias marked as Left, not even Center-Left. They have Axios as Center. https://www.allsides.com/news-source/vox-news-media-bias https://www.allsides.com/news-source/vox-news-media-bias
