The magazine costs less than two dollars and is also available for subscription. Hi's writers are American, generally of Middle Eastern or Muslim descent, and write in Arabic.

The State Department produces Hi with the explicit goal of informing the youth of the Middle East and Muslim world about American culture. The project is based on the supposition that if this demographic had a clearer understanding of what America is really like, then some of their hostility could be assuaged. Consequently, the publication attempts to characterize America in a flattering light – as a stylish, multicultural sanctuary for technology and innovation. Political issues are largely ignored. | |||
