Press conference
Is "press conference" the same as "press briefing"?
Thank you!

I think the two overlap in meaning, but, for me, "press conference" seems to more clearly indicate that there will be an opportunity for journalists to ask questions, whereas a "press briefing" could just consist of someone issuing a statement.
