A press release is a written or recorded communication directed at members of the news media for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy.
However, is there a term for bad press release? Something, which an organization would use for communicating something gone wrong?

A press release is a press release. You could however qualify it according to circumstance, such as 'emergency press release' or describe it differently, for example: 'customer safety information'

In my line of trade this is called a "failure notice".

@Reg That's more like what I was looking for. Can you post that as an answer with more details?

No, mu, there is not. By any stretch of your imagination press release here has the same definitive or necessary meaning as paragraph/phrase/sentence/word… You seem to be confusing judgement/value which could mean whatever you want, with evidence/fact which are rather different, are they not?

Well, generally speaking it's going to attempt to whitewash the information.

I don't think there is any specific word / term that organizations use for this, but possibly something along the lines of public relations failing?
CEO: We've had some backlash from the press?
Employee: Yes, the PR has phrased the release wrong and had an iffy headline.
Think something would go along like this possibly. I can't find any other alternative. Let me know when you find an answer of if this doesn't answer the question.

I don’t think this is what mu is asking about. “Bad press release” is not intended to mean “press release of poor quality”, but “press release about a negative incident”, like the BP Oil press releases about the oil spill a few years ago, for instance, or Apple’s press release about Steve Jobs’ death. Not that that changes the essential answer here: there is no specific word for such a thing to my knowledge, either.
