press junket
Promotional interview circuit
A press junket is an organized promotional event where journalists are invited to interview celebrities, filmmakers, or other public figures—typically to publicize a movie, album, or product launch.
Studios or companies cover travel and accommodations, gathering many outlets in one location for efficient publicity: The cast spent three days doing the press junket in New York.
The term sometimes carries a whiff of criticism, implying journalists receive lavish treatment in exchange for favorable coverage.
