The Monocle Weekly signs on with 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. Welcome to the third episode of the Monocle Weekly. This week we go to Gaza City to hear about the situation on the ground from Khaled Abdel Shafi, head of the regional United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). We also have an appointment with newspaper doctor Mario García, who has helped more than 500 newspapers rethink their business in the face of the digital revolution. Arianna Huffington, co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, joins us to talk about what lies in store for president-elect Barack Obama after his inauguration on 20 January. Finally, the third edition of Monocle Weekly is topped off by a summary of this week’s cultural highlights, cherry-picked by culture editor Robert Bound.
