Printing controlled by churches??[edit]
I am very dubious about the claim that the use of 'chapel' dates back to a time when printing offices were controlled by [presumably nonconformist] churches. PhilG (talk) 12:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- The National Union of Journalists itself says the origins of the term are unclear https://www.nuj.org.uk/work/chapels/ . I recall reading something long ago about London printers and booksellers occupying (just post-Reformation) some of the many side-chapels of St Paul's Cathedral that were no longer required for worship.
