press-conference
Official announcement event
A press conference is a scheduled event where a person or organization makes statements and answers questions from journalists.
Politicians hold press conferences to announce policies, corporations to report earnings or address crises, athletes after games.
The format gives officials some control—they choose the timing and setting—while still subjecting them to public questioning: The mayor called a press conference to respond to the allegations.
