news briefing
Official information session
A news briefing is a short, formal session where an official provides information to journalists.
Government spokespersons hold daily briefings; organizations announce developments through them.
Unlike press conferences, briefings tend to be routine and focused on updates rather than major announcements: The White House news briefing covered the president's schedule.
