Media
A gallery in Milan, a magazine you can wrap presents with and a digital delight from Leica.
Everything changes
James Brett, founder of the popular Museum of Everything, dislikes pretence in art but loves the weird and wonderful. Monocle meets him before his next show at London’s Selfridges department store.
Culture
Book, film and music reviews, plus culture editor Robert Bound's column on the media's tendency to report "non news".
By the book
School textbooks have come a long way. Innovations such as digital editions, 3D simulations and role-playing adventure books are making learning easier – and more fun.
On the roll
In politically polarised Venezuela, a state TV monopoly dominates. Globovisión is one of the few private 24-hour news channels, providing a counterweight despite, or perhaps because of, government intimidation.
Observation
In the year since Monocle moved in to Midori House the neighbourhood, like so many others, has seen some subtle but significant changes. Our editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé goes in search of a decent coffee.
Media
A new Russian TV comedy channel, a bookshop in Bratislava, a new gallery in Washington and a Q & A with the founder of the Pinta art festival in Argentina.
Free spirited
El Salvador’s ‘El Faro’ media firm had humble beginnings but is now one of Central America’s most important indie voices. Monocle meets its founder, Carlos Dada, to hear the story.
Ahead of the game
The sports writer has a tough job. Crafting a story that’s more than mere results reporting takes toil – especially when sports players are often famously ineloquent. And then there are the deadlines.
Two’s company
Husband-and-wife team Martine and Prosper Assouline have built their luxury publishing house by doing what feels natural. From a Paris apartment, Assouline is now a US-based market leader.
