Communiqué on how to be ejected? (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

press release

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'communique' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'how to be ejected?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' could be 'press' (pressing is a kind of being) and 'press' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'release' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
