pressrooms

Where newspapers emerge

Pressrooms are spaces where printing presses operate, producing newspapers, magazines, or other printed materials.

The term also refers to rooms where journalists gather for press conferences or briefings: The White House pressroom was packed with reporters.

In newspaper contexts, the pressroom is specifically where the physical printing happens, distinct from the newsroom where stories are written.
