The masthead sets out who is responsible for 2 Forks Events and the standards our work is held to. It is a companion to our Team page and, together with our editorial policies, forms the public record of how this publication is run.
Publisher
2 Forks Events is an independent event discovery and planning publication. It covers music events, weddings, parties, corporate events, catering, local event discovery, seasonal events, and industry news. It is not a ticketing platform, wedding-vendor marketplace, venue directory, or event-planning service. The publication is registered in Vienna, Austria (Schrickgasse 17, Wien), and serves a global English-speaking audience.
Editorial structure
Coverage is organised around eight verticals — Music Events & Concerts, Wedding Planning, Party & Celebration Planning, Corporate & Business Events, Event Catering, Local Event Discovery, Seasonal Events, and Event Industry News — overseen by an Editor-in-Chief who holds overall responsibility, and coordinated by a Managing Editor responsible for workflow, fact-checking, and corrections. Each vertical has clear ownership so standards are applied consistently. The responsibilities of each role are described on our Team page.
Our standards, in summary
- Named bylines. Every article carries a named human byline; we do not use “admin” or template author names, and we do not present AI-generated text as journalism.
- Verified event details. Dates, venues, line-ups, and prices are verified against authoritative sources before publication, and presented in an Event Details box.
- Affiliate transparency. Any article with affiliate links carries a clear FTC disclosure above the body, and commission never influences coverage.
- Human judgment, not AI. AI is never used to write event coverage, recommendations, or body prose, as our AI Content Policy explains.
- Independence. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and the events, venues, and vendors we cover.
- Open corrections. Errors are corrected promptly and logged publicly at /corrections/.
Editorial policies
The standards above are set out in detail across our policy pages: our Editorial Policy, Ethics Policy, AI Content Policy, Corrections policy, Affiliate Disclosure, and Sponsored Content Policy.
Ownership and funding
2 Forks Events is independently operated and free to read. Where it is supported commercially, it is through affiliate commissions (FTC-disclosed), clearly-labelled sponsored content, and light advertising — not through client-solicitation, paid guest posts, or coverage disguised as editorial. Our commercial standards are on our Advertise and Sponsored Content Policy pages.
How to reach us
General editorial enquiries and event tips: editorial@2forksevents.com. Corrections: corrections@2forksevents.com. To contribute, see Write for Us. This masthead will be updated as the publication grows — as named editors and contributors join, as coverage expands, and as standards develop. It is intended as an honest, public account of who we are and how we work, and we hold ourselves to what it says.
Editorial independence in practice
Independence is easy to assert and harder to practise, so it is worth being concrete. Advertisers and sponsors have no role in deciding what we cover or how; they do not see articles before publication, and they cannot obtain favourable coverage or the removal of unfavourable coverage. Affiliate partners and ticket platforms do not influence our recommendations. Sponsored content is clearly labelled and kept distinct from editorial. We do not publish promotional coverage dressed as journalism, we do not sell guest posts, and we do not list the site on paid guest-post marketplaces. If any content ever reads as advertising in disguise, that is a failure of our standards, and we want to hear about it.
Complaints and right of reply
We take complaints about our coverage seriously. If you believe an article is inaccurate, unfair, or falls short of our standards, write to editorial@2forksevents.com setting out your concern and any supporting source. We review it, correct genuine errors through our Corrections process, and, where fairness requires, offer an appropriate opportunity to respond. Disagreement with our opinion is not the same as an error of fact, but we would always rather engage with a serious objection than ignore it.
Our commitment to readers
The purpose of a masthead is accountability: to say plainly who is responsible for a publication and what it can be held to. Our commitment is that our coverage will be accurate, honestly framed, independent, and open to correction; that affiliate and commercial arrangements will always be disclosed; and that we will be transparent about who we are, including that, as a young publication, our named masthead is still being built.

A living record
This masthead will change as the publication does — as named editors and contributors join, as our coverage expands across the eight verticals, and as our standards develop with the field. It is intended as an honest, public account of who we are and how we work, and we hold ourselves to what it says. We would rather earn a reader’s trust slowly, through accurate coverage, honest disclosure, and openness to correction, than claim it through a polished but fabricated front. If our work ever falls short of the standards set out here, we want to hear about it, and we will put it right.
