Monocle program descritpion for today’s show
Back after our eight week Summer Series sojourn, we start the new series of the Monocle Weekly by talking to School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) academic Christopher Gerteis about today’s Japanese elections and how the country might get back on track after recent economic and demographic woes. We also check in with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Alex Jones about his new book Losing the News and talk to Monocle’s resident media expert Mario García who speculates on the opportunities emerging for high-quality analytical writing over disposable press. Finally, we hear from our correspondent in Barcelona, Saul Taylor, who brings us a special report on the state of the Spanish economy. As usual Monocle’s editor in chief, Tyler Brûlé chairs the proceedings and editor Andrew Tuck and culture editor Robert Bound are on hand with the culture, comment and debate.
t’s another appearance for me in Tyler Brulé‘s Monocle Radio show this Sunday, August 30. I always enjoy my interaction with Tyler and his guests. This time, Tyler and his team will be talking to Alex Jones about his new book ‘Losing the News’ in which Jones, a Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist, explores how the dramatic changes sweeping the media have eroded the core news that has been the essential foundation of our democracy.
While applauding technological innovation, Jones also believes that what stands to be lost is the fact-based reporting that serves as a watchdog over government, and gives citizens what they need to perform as informed members of a community .
During his chat with the Monocle team, Jones will present his views, defend the premise of Losing the News and answer questions from Tyler and his editors.
My part will be to offer my own views and present what I see as the future of print.

Jacky enjoying breaksfast this morning in Luxemburg, surrounded by his favorite newspaper: Bild Am Sonntag
Alien discovered in Miami is Jacky’s top choice of a story today
Boris Becker in Miami: headline reads—Three Big Bellies in Miami
Jacky was up early this Sunday morning in Luxemburg. Two of Jacky’s best picks happen to take place in Miami. In one story—-the always-present alien that appears from out of space, and, this time, the alien lands, where else, but in Miami….Also in Miami Boris Becker, tennis star, in a double page very typical Bild Am Sonntag story headlined : Three Big Bellies in Miami—-Boris in the middle showing more stomach than during his heyday as a start athlete, surrounded by his pregnant former wife on the left and his current pregnant wife on the right.
Who is Jacky?
Jacky belongs to Frank Deville. The Luxembourg-based pooch is an “avid reader” of the German newspaper, Bild Am Sonntag. Every Sunday Jacky picks stories and interesting graphics in Bild Am Sonntag , the German newspaper.
Pure Design: volume and design
The concept of volume as seen in these pages from Argentina’s La Voz del Interior (left) and Turkey’s Zaman
Too bold. Too light. Too static. Too quiet. Too loud.
These are phrases we often use to convey our feelings about a page that is not quite there yet.
I know I used these phrases when describing my feelings about a page. The volume of the design must be appropriate for the story, the publication and what we are trying to project. The volume of a sports page, for example, is seldom that of a commentary page. Each speaks in a different voice, and the designer must make sure that the tools utilized—typography, size of type, colors, and placement help readers identify the volume of the piece.
