A news release with an embargo attached means what?

A news release with an embargo attached indicates that it will not be made available to the public or the media until a specified date and time. This practice is commonly used to coordinate the timing of news coverage and allows journalists to prepare their stories in advance, ensuring that all news outlets can publish their articles simultaneously when the embargo lifts.

An embargo serves the purpose of managing media relations and allows for a controlled dissemination of information. The effectiveness of this strategy relies on the trust between the news source and the media, as it requires journalists to adhere to the agreed-upon timeline before they can report the information.
