The press

"The press" was a journalism term, generally associated with journalists as a whole, (TV: Spearhead from Space, The Ambassadors of Death) or with the news. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Green Death, Robot) A journalist could also be said to be "from the press", (TV: The Web of Fear, Resurrection of the Daleks) or alternately, a "press man". (TV: Spearhead from Space)

In his fifth incarnation, the Doctor recalled that "the press" eventually became aware of his role in protecting 20th century Earth from alien invasions, which he suggested followed the Fourth Doctor's encounter with the Loch Ness Monster. This newfound exposure, which he attributed to security failings on UNIT's part, made the Doctor a "reluctant celebrity". (AUDIO: The Kingmaker)

"As always", according to Pete Lambert, the press weren't interested in reporting on the industrial accident that happened at the council where Pete worked. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)
