press junkets
Publicity interview circuits
Press junkets are promotional events where studios or publishers arrange interviews between journalists and celebrities—typically actors promoting a new film.
The celebrity sits in a hotel room while reporters cycle through in timed slots, each asking variations of the same questions.
The format prioritizes efficiency over depth: The cast spent three days doing press junkets in New York.
By extension, any whirlwind promotional tour may be called a junket.
