Media room
From Wiki
A media room is a critical addition to your online presence, especially if you are submitting online press releases and care about public relations.
A website media room provides an opportunity for you to represent your company or business in a professional manner to media, journalists, writers, podcasters and bloggers. It provides them with pre-created materials and interview questions that will get your company reported on before companies that are not savy enough to have a media room.
