ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Press release

A press release is like a grown-up version of "show and tell" time. Just like how you bring something special or important to share with your classmates during "show and tell," companies and organizations also have important news or announcements they want to share with people.

But instead of just showing and telling their classmates or friends, they need to share their news with a lot of people all at once, like reporters, journalists, or even other companies.

So, they write up a special document that explains everything they want to share with everyone. This document is called a press release.

The press release tells the world what's happening, why it's important, and who's involved. It's like a special invitation to catch up with all the cool things that are happening in the world.

This helps companies get their news out to many people all at the same time so that everyone can learn about the exciting things that are going on!
