In light of so many news org holiday parties being axed, we thought we'd ask you: Is your news organization still planning on having one?

Cuz we want to focus on the few, the proud: The Media Parties That Will Go On, Come Hell or High Water.

If your company is still planning a holiday party, tell us here so we can spread the good cheer.

Fill in the short form, and let us know the details. (Will there be open bar? Top shelf alcohol or just beer, wine and pretzels?)

We assume your holiday party is closed to non-company attendees, so when asked for info that does not apply (i.e. "How to RSVP") just write "N/A" in those fields. We'll then compile the entire list in a week or so and present it for all to view in our events newsletter, The Press List.
Submit your holiday party.

Last week at Lima, Washington Life promoted its latest Style issue with, what the magazine loves to call, Party! Party! Party!

We still think he likes like a hybrid of Harry Jaffe and Roger Simon.

High-profile members of the media met on Tuesday night at the Folger Shakespeare Library for a Vanity Fair-sponsored discussion of election coverage, including NBC's Andrea Mitchell, former White House communications officer Dan Bartlett, Frank Rich of the New York Times, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, and Vanity Fair's Todd Purdum.
