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.
Home from home
Following the success of our Hong Kong shop and bureau set up, we’ve replicated the concept in Toronto’s Little Italy – only it’s 20 times the size.
Media
South America's love of heavy metal, Brazil's Casa Triângulo art gallery and Al Jazeera launches in the Balkans.
Turn on to China
As part of a soft-power drive, the Chinese media is learning a new language. Monocle visits CNC World, a new 24-hour English-language news channel owned by the state-run agency Xinhua.
All about eve
What are the essential elements of a great manager? In the first of a new series, Monocle gets an insight from Eva Hamilton, head of Swedish public service broadcaster SVT.
