Our History

How It Started

Mensenews.org was founded in 2008 by a number of leading experts in men, boys, and family related issues who believed that an educational website, focusing on news from the perspective of male well-being, was needed and could play an important role in society.

We provide original articles from our team and curate hand-selected articles from the web. Since inception, we have published many original articles on issues important to the well-being of boys, men, and families. Our three newsletters focus on articles on distinct topic areas, Father & Families, Health & Fitness, and Issues & Perspectives, and are delivered every other week. Our curated articles are also available as a set of RSS feeds.


In 2021, we upgraded our site to WordPress, and in 2022 we refreshed the brand with new logos for our web site and our social media accounts. Our goal is to launch a regular video series in 2023.
