Homely heroine
Harumi Kurihara is an unlikely celebrity, a down-to-earth housewife at heart who has hit the big time with her cookbooks and TV shows. Meet Japan’s unassuming answer to Martha Stewart.
Our new website
We've transferred over five years of magazine, film and radio content to our new website. The result is a sharper, more handsome and informative experience. Visit us at monocle.com.
Media
Previously shunned by American TV companies, Al Jazeera is finally making its way in the US, plus CNN's new global take on the news and Alain de Botton at Heathrow.
Observation
Monocle’s editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé reflects on an eventful and surprising year at the magazine, from retail growth to new projects, and looks ahead to what’s coming in the next one.
Calm down, dear
Slow media might sound like a contradiction in terms but here we celebrate three media companies playing the long game, sticking to their guns and using their individuality to their advantage.
Most unwanted
Monocle’s annual round-up of 20 people who we think deserve a bigger stage. We cover diverse professions, from shoe designers to politicians, because little life-affirming things matter too.
To your health
What does 2010 hold? Monocle’s biggest issue to date looks at who should be in the spotlight and which companies are the ones to watch, all with a healthy dose of optimism.
Press gang
France’s media has traditionally kept a respectful distance from those in power. But a series of high-profile exposés is challenging old norms and pushing the debate on press freedom back into the spotlight.
Drawing board
For our round-table series, we invited four leaders in the graphic design industry to talk about the state – and the future – of their craft, in print and online.
Observation
Over the Christmas season Monocle will be going up a gear rather than winding down. But of course we’ll still find time to enjoy a glühwein or two in St Moritz.
