Monocle is an independent media brand with a distinctly optimistic worldview. Since 2007, Monocle magazine has provided a briefing on global affairs, business, culture, design, fashion and much more. We serve an audience of international readers hungry for opportunities and experiences beyond their borders.

Our editorial outlook is led by our own team, experiences and readers. There’s no outside media owner dictating what we say and no one interferes with our coverage – Monocle pays its own way. We prefer to take a seat at the table on our own terms and assess what really matters to our readers.

At Monocle, creating publications with enduring appeal has always been central to our work. In recent years, we have also published insightful coffee-table books and to-be-thumbed country guides that are designed to get you travelling better.

    Digital Designer

    “ Design is at the very core of Monocle. Ample opportunities to travel and meet new people aside, it’s great to work with the masterminds who shape Monocle’s incredible visual lens. Monocle is indeed a window to the world. ”

  • Blake Matich

    Digital Sub Editor

    “ The breadth of Monocle’s lens on the world is a daily solace against monotony. Whether I’m editing a political profile, a dispatch from São Paulo or crafting a breaking-news headline – perhaps all before lunch – there’s no shortage of variety. ”

    Producer

    “ Producing shows for Monocle Radio requires curiosity, creativity, a collaborative spirit and a finger on the pulse. It’s invigorating to step out of my comfort zone and into our world of coverage – even more so when our reportage hits the road. ”
