The story behind Zette.

Welcome to Zette—we’re unlocking access to legitimate journalism at an affordable price.

Our founder, Yehong Zhu, credits her time working at Forbes Magazine as the genesis behind Zette. It was in the national newsroom that she began to see the challenges faced by the journalism industry, particularly in transitioning from print to digital.

As a result, paywalls sprung up to compensate for razor-thin advertising revenue—yet it's expensive and unrealistic for readers to pay for unlimited access across every news site.

Enter Zette. Our credit-based pricing allows readers to unlock the articles that spark their interest, all while ensuring journalists are paid for every click.
