Monocle is a magazine and Web site founded by Tyler Brûlé, a Canadian journalist and entrepreneur. Described by CBC News reporter Harry Forestell as a "meeting between Foreign Policy and Vanity Fair", the magazine purports to provide a globalist perspective on international affairs, culture and design to wealthy, cosmopolitan readers. Andrew Tuck edits the magazine.
The magazine launched on 15 February 2007, priced at 12 euros and featuring articles on subjects including the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force, Chinese investment in Africa, and the best Portuguese-language Sunday newspapers. In the United States, single issues sell for $10 each and the subscription price is $150 annually (10 issues). The publisher claims the unusual 50 percent markup for subscription covers mail delivery and enhanced web content. In New Zealand, single issues sell for $18 each, in Japan for ¥2,310, in Switzerland for 20CHF and in the United Kingdom for £5.
Monocle is unusual in that its website contains an archive that is only available to paid subscribers.
