Monocle is an independent voice on global affairs, business, design, culture and much more. Founded in 2007, we go beyond the headlines to deliver sharp analysis, inspiring ideas and deep reporting – and all with an ambitious global perspective.

With HQs in London and Zürich, and bureaux in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Paris, Monocle magazine, published 10 times a year, remains the beating heart of our brand – offering fresh narratives that you won’t find elsewhere. 

Monocle is more than a publication; it’s a global community. Subscribers are not just readers; they’re invited into our world through exclusive events, lively conferences, and an expanding network of cafés and shops. 

Monocle Radio delivers around-the-clock programming, while our suite of newsletters drops insights and recommendations straight into your inbox.

With a trusted and expanding presence in digital news, books, bricks-and-mortar retail, brand collaborations, podcasts and more, we’re the place that people (and businesses) come to for smart solutions and an engaged, common-sense read on the world.

Our independent publishing imprint produces books that explore everything from travel to entrepreneurship with the same Monocle sensibility. 

For those looking to engage directly with our audience, our commercial partnerships and bespoke media offerings provide meaningful ways to connect.

We also produce seasonal and event-focused newspapers as well as annual specials such as business title The Entrepreneurs, our global lookahead, The Forecast and our travel title The Escapist.

Monocle is the news source for people who want to know more, hear a richness of views not just from the anglosphere and who, despite all the challenges, want to venture out into the world.

Monocle: keeping an eye and an ear on the world.
