We are family
As part of our exploration of dynasties, Monocle meets two families who have built cultural powerhouses up from the ground: the Bonniers’ huge Swedish media machine, and the Glimchers’ art gallery empire.
Observation
Monocle is hunting for a new London HQ. Inspired by our modern workplace feature, editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé dreams of what it could be. Anyone for a karaoke salon?
Gianni Riotta
Gianni Riotta, editor-in-chief of business newspaper ‘Il Sole 24 Ore’, would invite all his loved ones to a Sicilian feast for his ‘last meal’.
Media
The entrepreneurs putting Africa on the app-map, the vinyl producer teaching everyone a lesson, and a visit to one of our favourite Honk Kong newsagents.
Talk of the town
Is there a future for local newspapers? We meet the believers from a British octogenarian maverick to a hi-tech Czech publisher and witness triumphs but also a spectacular failure as it happens.
Culture
Culture editor Robert Bound's column on Alan Bennett's play The History of Art, as well as our latest book, film and music reviews.
A hard sell

Africa/ Middle East
Angola has a stab at press freedom, Nigeria's internet speeds up and we look at the upcoming elections in Egypt and Libya
