The Monocle Media Summit 2021
What – and who – is making the news
Thursday 14 October
The Monocle Media Summit is back. Join our editors and producers for a look at the brands, correspondents and titles that are shaping the media landscape and steering its future. This year the event also marks Monocle 24’s 10th birthday so we are putting a special focus on broadcast media, the power of the newsroom in turbulent times and the role of the anchor in informing and entertaining the global public.
A packed afternoon of panels will be hosted by Monocle’s founder Tyler Brûlé and editor in chief Andrew Tuck along with a selection of their Monocle colleagues from print and radio, and will include insights from a stellar line-up of industry leaders.
