New Report Maps How Men Behave Online
Harmony Labs to Join LinkUp Lab for Virtual Briefing Wednesday Exploring Men’s Engagement with Online Media
One of the most pressing issues facing society is how to counter the “manosphere” and create healthier spaces online. On Wednesday, some of the world’s leading experts will hold a briefing to share new research and strategies. LinkUp Lab—an innovation hub designed by Equimundo and Futures Without Violence—will join with the media research lab, Harmony Labs, to share key findings from Harmony’s new research, which maps men’s media consumption habits, the content that resonates with them, and how their online engagement shapes their behavior. The new report examines the male audiences most likely to engage with “manosphere” content on YouTube and provides design principles for making media content that helps men flourish and practical tips for people telling stories in the online worlds men inhabit.
The briefing will also feature a conversation with Diverting Hate about how to put the findings into practice. It is for organizations, creators, moderators, and all those working to create safe and healthy spaces online where men can find community:
