About us

Launched in February 2007, Monocle is a global briefing on international affairs, business, culture and design headquartered in London.

In print Monocle’s 10 issues a year are dense, book-ish and collectable and call on a global team of staff editors and over 30 correspondents from Beirut to Milan, Washington to Singapore.

Online Monocle focuses on broadcast and has become one of the most viewed news sources in many of our key markets. Our journalists report from around the world and craft films that are more documentary in form rather than a collection of clips. And we have made over 250 of them to date.

And then there’s Monocle 24, our round the clock radio station that launched in October 2011 and is broadcast from our headquarters at Midori House in Marylebone.
