press statements

Media release documents

Press statements are official communications issued to media outlets by organizations, governments, or public figures.

They deliver a controlled message about events, decisions, or positions: The company released a press statement denying the allegations.

Unlike press conferences, they don't invite questions—the statement speaks for itself and that's that.
