BOSTON (June 1, 2010) – Good Men Media today announced the launch of The Good Men Project Magazine, a timely and provocative online publication that explores issues facing modern men and that seeks to answer the question, “What does it mean to be a good man?”
The Good Men Project Magazine is part of The Good Men Foundation, a registered 501(3)c charitable organization designed to help at-risk men and boys. The magazine is a cross-platform, multi-media destination featuring compelling writing about parenting, sex, relationships, identity, ethics, humor, and health. The publication’s contributors include top-tier journalists commissioned to provide feature content as well as volunteer writers and bloggers.
Lisa Hickey, a Boston advertising and social media consultant, will oversee the venture along with New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis. Hickey licensed the Good Men brand from Tom Matlack, who last year launched a book and movie called the “Good Men Project,” which brings together real-life stories about the defining moments in men’s lives. The Good Men Project Magazine will extend this concept to a day-to-day living media site that will serve as a resource of information and stories for men.
“There are issues that are unique to men, and The Good Men Project Magazine will address these in ways that no other magazine does,” said Hickey. “We’re going to talk about the stuff that men don’t usually talk about.”
Highlights from the magazine’s inaugural issue launching today include:
- John Badalament on how to be a good dad (just in time for Father’s Day)
- Helen Peppe on raising a son who hit puberty at age 9, acted like a teenager at 10, and dated a 21-year-old when he was 15
- A.J. Jacobs on his loveless youth, his repressed emotions, and his scary computer
- Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz on his “jerk-off” dad, infidelity, and the ritual of getting clipped…at the barber shop
- Andrew Tolve on how not to propose to your girlfriend
- Tom Forrister on taking the most radical step to becoming a man: testosterone injections
- Henry P. Belanger on ethics and Goldman Sachs’ road to redemption
- Andrew Ladd on Justin Halpern’s bestselling book, Sh*t My Dad Says
- Brantley Hargrove on witnessing the execution of convicted murderer Steven Henley
- Victoria Medgyesi on how men can (and occasionally do) exceed our expectations
- Matthew Salesses on accidentally setting his girlfriend’s hair on fire
- Benoit Denizet-Lewis on the fine art of parallel parking
