New Yorker and Vanity Fair Won't Be Part of the WHCD Party Circuit This Year

Maybe it’s the general mood, or the optics of partying with politicians at a time when the White House’s relationship with the WH press corps is tempestuous, but two Condé Nast properties, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, will not be contributing this year to the blitz of parties that surround the White House Correspondents’ dinner on either end. The New Yorker won’t be hosting its traditional W Hotel pre-party, and Vanity Fair is leaving Bloomberg as the solo host of the coveted after-party they usually jointly sponsor.
