You don't give an exclusive with an embargo, you talk to the outlet and embargo it for post-exclusive publication (normally within a few hours - ie. you give it to a national, you unembargo it for the morning news). Another reason why embargoes, in general, are sometimes necessary is when you work for a multinational, decentralised organisation. Amnesty International issues thing with long embargoes to ensure press offices in different countries have opportunities to translate and issue them locally.
