Wikipedia elaborates that a press release, news release, media release, press statement or video release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something ostensibly newsworthy. Typically, they are mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks.

Tom Kelleher states in his book, Public Relations Online, given that your news-driven publics include bona fide journalists as well as others who read and report news online, the term news release seems to work better online than press release".

Fraser Seitel also refers to press releases as being, "the granddaddy of public relations writing vehicles."
