press statement
Public relations release
A press statement is an official announcement issued to news media, typically by organizations, government offices, or public figures.
Unlike a press conference, it doesn't involve questions—the statement speaks for itself.
Press statements address newsworthy events, clarify positions, or respond to controversies: The senator's office released a press statement denying the allegations.
