Which term describes a session where journalists ask questions and an organization representative responds?

• A. Interview
• B. Press conference
• C. Briefing
• D. Panel

Answer: (A)

A press conference is a public session where journalists ask questions and a spokesperson for the organization responds on behalf of the group. This setup fits when the organization wants to address a broad media audience and field multiple questions at once. An interview is usually a one-on-one exchange between a journalist and a single subject; a briefing is more about delivering information with structured questions; a panel involves several speakers rather than a single spokesperson handling reporters' questions.
