It can be, I mean, that is an internet press release. But, a press release is generally...well, Wikipedia puts it best I suppose:
"A written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something claimed as having news value. Typically, it is mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to assignment editors at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, and/or television networks."
Press releases are typically submitted by the public relations department of a company or organization. But, the internet has obviously changed all that. Anyone can submit a press release now.
