Apple. Cell phones. Dollars. Football. Google. Silk Road. Sushi. T-shirts.

The Globalist's weekly feature series Global Icons zeroes in on one everyday item on the global stage — and explores it from all angles with a stunning selection of facts or quotes each week.

Presented in Q&A style, we take your readers across borders and tackle each item in its relevant contexts, be it the environment, economy, history, geography, health, society — or the human race in general. In short, Global Icons is a weekly guidebook to what constitutes the "raw materials" of globalization.

Ideal for weekend sections, our 800-word feature educates as much as it entertains. Global Icons provides a refreshing way to take your readers on a sweeping world tour — via the "hook"of everyday items and icons that everybody can relate to.

Used in conjunction with photos or other strong visuals, Global Icons becomes a stimulating and informative weekly feature that is destined to capture your readers' imagination.
