Zeteo

Zeteo ( zə-TAY-oh; from Ancient Greek ζητέω (zētéō) 'to seek, to inquire') is a progressive media company and Substack newsletter founded by British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan on April 15, 2024, after he quit MSNBC because of his talk show's cancellation. Hasan said it cost $4 million to launch the outlet and that it reports from a left-wing perspective, covering news not reported by mainstream media outlets. Zeteo has been called an alternative media outlet that espouses progressive values. Greta Thunberg and Naomi Klein have written for Zeteo. Zeteo publishes daily news and holds a weekly talk show, Mehdi Unfiltered, hosted by Hasan, and a weekly podcast. The outlet has a YouTube channel with over 2 million subscribers and uploads four to five videos per week. Journalist Oliver Darcy wrote in August 2025 that Zeteo's newsletter has more than 700,000 subscribers and over 50,000 paid subscribers, who pay $12 per month. Zeteo has an estimated annual revenue of $3.9 million as of 2025. In June 2026 Hasan announced that Zeteo would expand into the United Kingdom.
