press gallery
Journalists' observation area
A press gallery is a section of seats reserved for journalists in a legislative chamber, courtroom, or other official venue.
By extension, it refers to the journalists who occupy those seats: The press gallery was skeptical of the minister's claims.
The term emphasizes reporters' role as observers of government proceedings.
