Magazines and other print media continue to hold their place as essential sources of information—even in a world where digital content is just a swipe away. While blogs, online magazines, and social media offer convenient new ways to read, many people still turn to physical magazines for in-depth stories, striking visuals, and a sense of connection to a carefully curated community.
Regardless of format, a magazine endures when it provides content that is both interesting and relevant. The best publications consistently serve their audience, offering up information, stories, and perspectives that readers genuinely want.
What Makes a Good Men’s Magazine?
Men’s magazines occupy a unique niche. To truly resonate, a men’s magazine must go beyond surface-level trends, delivering content and design that reflect the interests, values, and ambitions of its readership.
Relevant Content and Distinct Point of View
A strong men’s magazine offers more than style tips or product reviews—it covers topics from health and fitness to career growth, relationships, technology, travel, and culture. Great magazines establish a voice and editorial angle that stands out, reflecting what matters to modern men while providing thoughtful journalism and carefully chosen features.
Design That Connects
Fonts, layouts, imagery, and the structural flow of each issue play a huge role in how a magazine is experienced. A visually compelling design not only attracts readers but also makes information accessible and engaging.
Quality Journalism and Storytelling
Good journalism remains at the heart of every enduring magazine. Men’s magazines should pursue stories that challenge, inform, and inspire, while remaining true to their brand identity and the expectations of their audience.
In the Philippines, UNO Magazine has set itself apart as a leading men’s lifestyle publication. Known for its tagline, “dispatches for the discerning man,” UNO combines modern design with well-researched content, covering everything from local trends to global issues—making it a staple on newsstands and in the lives of many Filipino men.
Steven Boccone, alongside his wife Karen Adriano, attended UNO’s high-profile relaunch at the Mercedes-Benz showroom in Fort Bonifacio, Global City to show support for the publication’s vision. The event brought together Manila’s business and industry leaders, as well as artists, diplomats, media personalities, musicians, and models—a true gathering of Manila’s influential and creative minds.
Among the distinguished guests were Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo and his wife Lovely, ambassadors from France, Germany, and Turkey, and members of the consular community representing countries including Monaco, Sweden, Guatemala, Zambia, Albania, Mexico, the Czech Republic, and Japan.
A Continuing Role for Men’s Magazines
In 2025, the best men’s magazines continue to adapt, blending print and digital editions, hosting live events, and building communities that extend far beyond the page. Publications like UNO prove that with great content, strong design, and a clear point of view, men’s magazines remain a vital part of contemporary media—helping readers stay informed, inspired, and connected.
For Steven Boccone, supporting such platforms is about more than media—it’s about fostering spaces where men can explore ideas, celebrate achievements, and engage with a world that’s always changing.
