Hitting newsstands today (7 December), Monocle’s Winter Weekly will be published every Thursday in December, retailing at £5 and sold in newsagents and airports across major cities in Europe and North America. Initial print run of the 48pp Berliner-format newspaper will be 80,000.

Printed in Bern, Switzerland, and edited in London and Zürich, the first issue will feature the first of four essays from Monocle editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé, along with an interview with Ohio governor John Kasich, features on the Georgian ski trade and Swiss ice hockey, and a short story from author Alex Preston.

A Monocle statement said: “Following the success of its four Summer Weekly newspapers, Monocle is returning to the presses to deliver a winter expedition into crisp white paper.

"The Winter Weekly will be on newsstands each week, bringing readers a snowier, high-altitude view of the world – from gritty reports to fireside fiction reads. Monocle - The Winter Weekly has been designed to inform, entertain and inspire – and to leave readers primed for 2018.” 

It’s been a successful year for pop-up newspapers, with Archant’s fortnightly New European, which was launched in the weeks prior to the Brexit referendum, still going strong.
