The Monocle Weekly

The Monocle Weekly

The team are in London this week enjoying a well-deserved break after a hectic production week. It's also World Press Freedom Day, and Salim Amin is on the line from Nairobi to talk about A24 Media, a new project that's helping promote press freedom across Africa. Dialling in from Budapest is Monocle correspondent Adam LeBor, who assesses the ability of the country's new leadership to tackle the economic and social crisis in Mitteleuropa. There is also a special report from the Invest Iraq conference, which took place in London this week, and Sophie Arie, Monocle's foreign editor, and Rachel Morarjee, international economy editor at the Financial Times, are in the studio to discuss the potentials and pitfalls of investing in the region. All this, and the usual culture and comment from culture editor Rob Bound, editor Andrew Tuck and host Tyler Brûlé.

About the Monocle Weekly

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor in chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
