Short answer

A media kit, or press kit, is a package of brand assets, facts, executive bios, images and contacts provided to journalists. The term also describes a publisher's document of audience data, ad formats and rates for advertisers. In both senses, it gives outside parties the essential information they need quickly and in one place.
