AI overview
A news conference is a public event where someone in the news—like a politician, business leader, or official—meets with journalists to share information and answer their questions. It matters because it allows the public to learn directly about important developments through news coverage, and gives journalists the chance to ask follow-up questions that help clarify what's really going on.
