Award-winning Indian-origin journalist Mehdi Hasan has unveiled his latest venture, Zeteo, a new independent media company set to challenge double standards, provide unfiltered news, and prioritize truth-seeking.
In the current climate of global conflict, domestic concerns of fascism, and widespread propaganda, Hasan introduced Zeteo as a platform that seeks answers to pressing questions while maintaining an unwavering commitment to the truth.
Named after the ancient Greek word for 'seeking out' and 'striving,' Zeteo is positioned as a revival of independent and unfiltered journalism. Hasan, known for his hard-hitting interviews, envisioned Zeteo as a media organization that addresses significant issues through podcasts, newsletters, op-eds, and essays contributed by a diverse range of high-profile voices.
