The Editorial Board includes Moritz Behrendt, Asiem El Difraoui, Yasemin Ergin, Daniel Gerlach, Christian Meier, Veit Raßhofer and Jörg Schäffer.
The magazine was founded by students of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Hamburg in the summer of 1999 and was initially a non-profit project.

In October 2012, the German language flagship magazine zenith was relaunched with a new design and it now features an integrated business section. As of spring 2015, the CANDID Foundation took on the editorial responsibility for zenith magazine, in partnership with the publishing house Deutscher Levante Verlag.

In the spring of 2000, the association "forum zenith e.V." was founded. The association was the official publisher of the magazine zenith until 2008. Currently, the association is concentrating on the content of the magazine as well as supporting the professional development of young journalists and photographers. The magazine views itself as a platform for young, critical, alternative journalism on a region whose image in the world is significantly marked by biased and ideologically entrenched reporting.
