About Press conference in brief
A press conference or news conference is a media event in which newsmakers invite journalists to hear them speak and, most often, ask questions. News conferences are often held by politicians; by sports teams; by celebrities or film studios; by commercial organizations to promote products; by attorneys to promote lawsuits; and by almost anyone who finds benefit in the free publicity afforded by media coverage.
Some people, including many police chiefs, hold press conferences reluctantly in order to avoid dealing with reporters individually. A press conference is often announced by sending an advisory or news release to assignment editors, preferably well in advance. A media event at which no statements are made, and no questions allowed, is called a photo op.
