Zeteo is an online media company founded by British broadcaster and author Medhi Hasan following his exit from MSNBC.[1] The organization was officially launched on April 15, 2024.[2]
Background[edit]
In January 2024, Medhi Hasan quit his position at MSNBC following the network's cancellation of his show the previous year,[3] opting instead to "look for a new challenge."[4] Hasan announced the creation of Zeteo in February 2024.[1][5][6] Hasan said Zeteo would allow him to "speak bluntly about racism, fascism, genocide, and more."[7]
Content[edit]
The word "Zeteo" comes from the Ancient Greek word for "to strive" or "to seek after."[8]
Contributors to Zeteo include author Naomi Klein,[9] climate activist Greta Thunberg,[10] and Cynthia Nixon.[10]
Israel-Hamas war[edit]
Zeteo has put much of its focus on the Israel-Hamas war, particularly Israel's campaign of airstrikes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and the ongoing famine there.
In May 2024, Zeteo, in collaboration with think tank Data for Progress, released the results of a poll the organizations had conducted which found that a majority of Americans supported a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.[11]
Reception[edit]
The reception of Zeteo was mostly positive, but it also faced some criticism.
Ashley Rindsberg, writing for UnHerd, criticized Zeteo for being "focused almost exclusively on Israel."
