press embargo
Media release restriction
A press embargo is an agreement between a news source and journalists that information may be shared in advance but not published until a specified date and time.
Organizations use embargoes to give reporters time to prepare stories while coordinating release: The study was distributed under embargo until Monday at noon.
Breaking an embargo—publishing early—can damage a journalist's access to future information.
