I believe the answer is:

bulletin

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

'statement?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Official statement ' mean 'bulletin' so perhaps 'statement' could also mean 'bulletin')

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Regular news up-date" , "Broadcast summary of news" , "News flash" , "News report" , "Regular newsletter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
