For every article praising Tyler Brule, there is one criticizing him. It’s not hard to see why – his persona is based on exclusivity, not something that plays well in the current economic climate. Yet it’s because of the current economic situation that Brule should be applauded. His success in creating Monocle and more recently, his launch of the Monocle 24 radio station is remarkable. In a shaky print market, he has put premium content to the forefront and demonstrated why quality print is still relevant. I just picked up the latest issue of Monocle and its brilliant – a mix of style, politics, design and reportage. The world needs more magazines like Monocle, and more entrepreneurs like Tyler Brule.
