pressroom
Where newspapers print
A pressroom is the area in a printing facility where the printing presses are located and operated.
In journalism, the pressroom (often two words: press room) refers to a space set aside for reporters, particularly at government buildings, courthouses, or venues hosting major events.
The campaign manager held an impromptu briefing in the pressroom.
The term emphasizes either the machinery of printing or the journalists who work with deadlines and breaking news.
