An independent media platform built on transparency and integrity - reliable information, deep analysis, and a faithful commitment to people’s rights, justice and equality.
The Speech is the independent media platform founded by Mountasser Hachem - a newsroom of investigative journalists, jurists and storytellers led by Editor-in-Chief Layal Bou Moussa. Publishing in English and Arabic from Lebanon, it exists to spark social awareness and promote accountability, so people can make informed decisions and drive meaningful change. The founder funds it; the journalists run it.

The Speech represents Mountasser Hachem’s conviction that independence is the most valuable infrastructure of all - a newsroom funded so it answers to no one, in a country where the truth has rarely had that luxury.
Eight editorial sections, one mission: reliable information and deep analysis that put people’s rights first.
What the speech does
Founder’s Vision
“I spent my life building businesses that connect people. The Speech connects them to something more important - the truth. I fund it so that no one else has to, because journalism that depends on political money can never be fully honest. My only editorial instruction is that there are no instructions.”
- Mountasser Hachem, Founder & Chairman
