I believe the answer is:

splash

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

'press publicity' is the definition.
'splash' can be an answer for 'publicity' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'press' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for splash that I've seen before include "Spatter liquid about" , "not much rain" , "Bright patch of colour; cause water to fly" , "Effect of hitting water (or headlines!)" , "Cause liquid to fly about in drops" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
