Economics, pricing and the numbers behind rooms that work.
About Megaphone
The business of live experiences.
Megaphone reports on the rooms, economics, people, systems and decisions behind getting people together in the real world.
What we publish
Megaphone is a continuously publishing newsroom and e-zine focused on useful, evidence-minded coverage of live experiences as a business.
Practical operating guidance for producers, venues and creators.
Real rooms, real operating decisions and real P&Ls when the evidence is available.
Data cuts, patterns and trend reporting.
Clearly labeled first-person notes and Publisher's Notebook pieces.
How we handle numbers
Measured figures should carry their source, period and sample size. Illustrative arithmetic is labeled as illustrative. Megaphone does not turn examples into benchmarks.
Access
Megaphone is free to read. Stories publish continuously; Issues curate that work into e-zine editions; Megaphone Weekly delivers a weekly edit by email.
Editorial principle
Show the receipts.
Useful reporting should make clear what is measured, what is sourced, what is illustrative and what is opinion.
