Text In this podcast, the word "press" means the media, or all newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and news websites: "Why does the press focus on negative news stories?" The "printing press" is a machine that produces printed materials: "Before the printing press was invented, books had to be copied by hand." The phrase "to go to press" means for a newspaper to be printed: "When we went to press, officials were still counting the votes." The phrase "to stop the presses" means to stop printing a newspaper, usually because there is new information that needs to be included in the stories: "Wow, what a surprise! Stop the presses!" Finally, the phrase "to get good/bad press" means to receive positive or negative news coverage in the media: "The company got a lot of bad press after its latest product recall."
