Mehdi Raza Hasan (/ˈmɛdi ˈhʌsən/ MED-ee HUSS-ən; born July 1979)[1][2][3] is a British-American progressive broadcaster and writer, and founder of the media company Zeteo. He presented The Mehdi Hasan Show[4] on Peacock from October 2020 and on MSNBC from February 2021 until the show's cancellation in November 2023.[5][6] On the final broadcast on 7 January 2024, he announced that he was leaving MSNBC.[7] In February 2024, Hasan joined The Guardian as a columnist.[8]

A graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, Hasan began his television career as a researcher and then producer on ITV's Jonathan Dimbleby programme. Following a stint on the BBC's The Politics Show he became deputy executive producer on Sky's breakfast show Sunrise before moving to Channel 4 as their editor of news and current affairs. In 2009, he was appointed senior editor for politics at the New Statesman. In 2012, he became a presenter on Al Jazeera's English news channel, and in 2015, moved to Washington, D.C. to work full-time for Al Jazeera on UpFront[9] and host the Deconstructed podcast produced by the online publication The Intercept from 2018 to 2020.[10]

Hasan is the author of Win Every Argument, and the co-author of a biography of former Labour Party leader Ed Miliband. He was formerly the political editor of the UK edition of The Huffington Post[11] and the presenter of the Al Jazeera English shows: The Café, Head to Head and UpFront.[12] Hasan returned as host of Head to Head in June 2024.[13]

He created the digital media company Zeteo News in February 2024: the media "features a broad range of opinions and ideas—not just his".[14]
