Join your friends and colleagues as we roll out the red carpet for Seattle's biggest journalist party of the year: The Holiday Scoop 2011.

Our 2nd annual all-media holiday party will bring together television, radio, online and print journalists. All Puget Sound-based newsroom staffers and former staffers invited.

Dec. 9, 2011

The Last Supper Club

Pioneer Square

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Ages 21 and over

Let's celebrate the holidays, great journalism and the successes of our local news organizations with emcees Lori Matsukawa of KING TV and Dave Ross of KIRO FM.

Nosh on hors d'oeuvres and drink at our no-host bar.

This event is being funded by private donations and program ad sales.

New this year: Caption contest. Entries cost $10, and you can pay the entry fee in advance or at the party.

All proceeds will benefit the Northwest Journalists of Color Scholarship, a 25-year program for talented college students who aspire to become professional journalists.

Update: The City of Seattle has decided to enforce an admission-fee policy against us, requiring us to pay taxes on this nonprofit scholarship fundraiser. So, instead of giving the city a cut of the Northwest Journalists of Color scholarships, we are opening the party to all invitees for free. Donations are welcome online and at the event. To trim costs, we have eliminated the karaoke throwdown.
