THE
TABLOIDS
Tabloid newspapers are broadly defined as cheap and quick reads, which contain a balance of news versus other content, such as celebrity gossip, weather reports, sport news and games such as crosswords. Potentially more unreliable, they are strongly geared towards sensationalism, not a presentation of the facts.
THE
BROADSHEETS
Broadsheet newspapers are broadly defined as those who write in depth for an audience interested in serious news writing rather than celebrity gossip or sensationalism. Traditionally, they were published on a large “broad sheet” but only a minority of British broadsheets are now published in this format. VS
