'all points to trick receiver admits' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'about media gathering' is the wordplay.
'about media' becomes 'news' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gathering' becomes 'conference' (conference is a kind of gathering).
'news'+'conference'='NEWS CONFERENCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for news conference that I've seen before include "Opportunity provided to press" , "Meeting with the press" , "PR event" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
