briefing
Explanation:
I don't like to give it a high confidence level, not being a native speaker, but isn't this the French term? The statement is the "communiqé de presse" so I wouldn't think it's necessary to repeat "presse" (although perhaps it is).

Etant donné la répétition du mot "presse" dans mon texte, j'ai choisi "briefing" qui par ailleurs se dit aussi... en français! Merci :-)
