Albert Hadi

Albert Hadi is an accomplished author and researcher with over 25 years of experience in war zones and conflict environments. His career has centered on counterterrorism, extremist propaganda, and the global struggle over information control-issue that lie at the core of press freedom and media ethics. He has collaborated extensively with U.S. interagency entities, serving as Arabic Press Officer with the U.S. Department of State and as Team Leader of the Digital Engagement Team (DET) at U.S. Central Command.

As Editor-in-Chief of A Word of Truth, Albert directly challenged ISIS propaganda and al-Qaeda's manipulative narratives, exposing how regimes and terrorist organizations alike exploit media as a tool of control and repression. His work has given him rare insight into how freedom of expression is defended in open societies and suppressed under authoritarian systems.

Widely recognized for his analysis of press freedom, human rights, and global media regulation, Albert has published eight books in Arabic and English, as well as numerous articles and research papers on terrorism, radicalization, and the politics of information. His writing continues to highlight the urgent importance of human rights, freedom of expression, independent journalism, and protecting vulnerable minorities from systemic silencing.
