The Monocle Weekly

The Monocle Weekly

This week's edition has a special newspaper theme and we ask Simon Kelner, managing director of The Independent, what the plans are for the future of the daily newspaper under its new Russian owners. We then cross over to leading media consultant Mario García who shares his views on what the launch of new media devices such as Apple's iPad could mean for newspapers before asking George Brock, head of journalism at City University, London, if all too often we're putting the medium before the quality of the message. Finally Raul Juste Lores, business and economics editor at Folha de São Paulo, is on the line to reveal how newspapers are experiencing rapid growth in Brazil.
