Zette Acquires Below the Fold
Navigating paywall barriers while ensuring journalists are fairly compensated has long been a market necessity. Zette is pioneering a solution by offering a single-subscription platform to unlock premium articles, addressing the dual need for content accessibility and equitable journalist remuneration.
Below the Fold, launched in 2021 by MIT graduates Anum Hussain and Vivian Diep, has been instrumental in simplifying storytelling by sifting through the internet’s vast archives of information to highlight unseen yet significant stories. “Yehong and her team have big visions for what's next, and we’re thrilled to share that it now includes Below The Fold in all its glory,” says founder Anum Hussain.
The integration of Below the Fold's audience onto Zette’s platform unlocks a new chapter in premium media consumption. The merger signifies a partnership aimed at supporting Zette's mission to enhance paywalled content curation and broaden access to high-quality journalism.
Zette looks forward to the opportunities that this acquisition will unlock, and remains committed to delivering a user experience that will enrich the lives of its audience around the world.
