Hack and Flack

A Hack and Flack is an informal gathering of journalists (often called 'hacks') and public relations people (often called 'flacks'). This is usually off the record and involves alcohol. The purpose is to build and improve relationships between two groups who often work together but sometimes for competing purposes.
