MediaPost: Monocle — the magazine devoted to global current affairs, business, culture and design — has launched a new travel-focused annual publication called The Escapist. Produced in a book-style format with a cover price of $18, The Escapist is the second new annual publication from the magazine. Like Monocle, The Escapist combines content about business with other subjects, principally travel, all from a globetrotting, cosmopolitan perspective.
