Yated, whose first editor was Rabbi Moshe Grylak,[3]: p.43  was founded as part of a broad initiative to have a full range of social and communal organizations that specifically serve the Lithuanian Torah community, after it was felt that Agudat Israel, its institutions, and their paper Hamodia no longer represented their point of view.

Yated Ne'eman is controlled by its rabbinic board which had deferred to Rabbis Nissim Karelitz and Aharon Leib Shteinman on all matters pertaining to the content of the newspaper.

Most of the content reports news related to the religious community and articles supporting their ideology which is based on Torah study and mitzvah observance and does not define its basic identity in political terms.

Since December 2006, the Chareidi Dei'ah Vedibur[5] website has continued offering weekly news coverage and occasional religious content in English.

The Hebrew phrase "yated ne'eman" literally refers to a peg strongly anchored in the ground, and is used figuratively to describe a secure connection or something which can be relied upon.
