'instruction on parachute' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'issued to journalists?' is the wordplay.
'issued' becomes 'release' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'journalists?' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'release' put after 'press' is 'PRESS RELEASE'.

'that's' is the link.
