    A press release is pseudo-news story, written in third person, that seeks to demonstrate to an editor or reporter the newsworthiness of a particular person, event, service or product.

    It’s simple. You write an announcement about your organization – a new product launch, current promotion, or local team sponsorship - whatever. Distribute your release to every major news/press release site and search engine on the web, and this can put you in front of consumers and journalists.

    Though, the latter just not happen that often, Google loves Press Release so it's good for SEO as well

    A press release or a news release is a written announcement directed at members of the news media about something claimed as having news value. This encourages the journalists to write a news article on the subject giving you a lot more exposure for free. Press releases can announce a range of business news such as: scheduled events, awards, accomplishments, new products, new services, executive promotions, sales and other financial data, etc.

    Press release is a record or written contacts, written in the third person, that is used to make attention in an event or creation that is deemed moving to the media. They follow a set arrangement and contain corporation information, contact details and a explanation of the product and services. If you do press release then it's not sure you will get incoming links, it's all depend on site.

    Yep pretty much what everyone said above. A simple news story about a specific topic in the hopes to attract attention to the company/website/organization.

    They are a good way to get backlinks as there are many strong press release websites.
