Men’s Journal to Return to Print With Summer Issue

Men’s Journal is returning to the print world.

After a hiatus of two-and-a-half years, the men’s lifestyle magazine will publish a 100-page issue that will hit newsstands on Friday.

Men’s Journal, which was founded by Jann Wenner in 1992, centers around adventure, travel, fitness, gear and other topics of interest to active men.

“This issue strikes all the chords people know and love about Men’s Journal,” said editor in chief Brittany Smith. “It’s packed with utility, grit, and heart — with reviews on everything from a Marvel-approved adventure bike to grills to outdoor pizza ovens, and unfiltered stories of resilience that redefine strength.”

The cover will feature Matty Matheson of “The Bear” and will highlight his rise to fame, struggle with addiction and highest profile collaborations. The issue will also include the Men’s Journal’s Travel Awards which single out the best hotels, tour operators, airlines and other categories as well as the top luggage, accessories and Dopp kit essentials.

There will be reviews of grills, pizza ovens and adventure RVs; a feature on chef Eduardo Garcia, who continued to persevere even after losing his arm in an accident, as well as summer food and drink recipes. There will also be a longevity workout from Ben Patrick, famous for his Knees Over Toes workout regime, and a photo feature from outdoor shooter Helena Clancy focused on elite climber Chris Sharma.

Men’s Journal last published a print edition in January 2023. Since then, it has published a digital version with 50 million online monthly readers and 8 million followers on social media. The plan is to continue to print issues quarterly along with a mix of themed special interest publications. It is owned and operated by The Arena Group, which purchased the magazine’s digital assets in 2022.
