Tabloids vs. broadsheets
The US Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) has released a new study entitled 'Extra! Extra!', that compares tabloids with broadsheets and examines their potential future in the US media market.


PEJ asserts that the new study "may surprise traditionalists prone to dismiss the tabloids as just newspaper lite."

Some principal differences between tabloids and broadsheets are presented.

The tabloid will enable a reader to acquire a broad picture of the news stories of the day in a short time and in this area is more effective than the broadsheet: "A reader with 20 minutes will be more likely get a basic outline of the news about a broader range of topics… from the tabloids than the section fronts of the broadsheets."

On the other hand the broadsheet offers more in depth coverage of stories as well as a more balanced view: "readers of the tabloids would be hard pressed to get much in the way of sourcing, impact or even more than one side of the story—even on the top stories of the day. Indeed, 74% of controversial stories offered just one side or mostly one viewpoint on things."

The report suggests that the newspaper of the future needs to combine the positive aspects of each format to be a success: "Combining the broader news summary of the tabloids with the depth of the broadsheets on the key stories of the day may point to a way for newsrooms with fewer reporters to continue to cover the waterfront—and in a way that may serve readers better than simply covering fewer things or making every story a little shorter."

Answer 3

A tabloid newspaper focuses on local/national news as well as human interest stories. A broadsheet is aimed at a more intellectual readership with news from the international scene, finance and politics. There is also the size- a tabloid newspaper is dramatically smaller than a broadsheet.

Answer 4

The first variation between the headlines of tabloid and broadsheet newspapers observed, was that the headlines were longer in Broadsheets than tabloids. Broadsheet headlines had an average length of 6.8 words compared to the average tabloid headline length of 5.4 words. The main reason why headlines are so short in newspapers, not just Tabloids, but Broadsheets also, is because you find a lot of ellipsis in them, where words are missed out. The words that are missed out are often articles or the verb 'to be'. Although you do find them in Broadsheets, they are more common in Tabloids. In the headline 'MPs told stop meddling', from a tabloid, an article

Answer 5

Tabloids are papers like the News of the world, The Sun, Daily Star. they basicaly are the gossip news papers. they basicaly get a picture and make a story about it. A Broadsheet on the other hand is like The Independent, The Observer. they are the giant newspapers generaly twice the size of a tabloid these are more factual and include more interlectual artical and write a story then get a picture. and then you have papers in the middle like, The mail. wich are pretty factual but the same size as a abloid and do contain some gossip. i only know this because i'm a Paper girl and have delivered them for 2 years. hope that helps.

Answer 6

Well, Wikipedia says this;

A tabloid is a newspaper format particularly popular in the United Kingdom. A tabloid format newspaper is roughly 23½ by 14¾ inches (597 mm × 375 mm) per spread. This is the smaller of two standard newspaper sizes; the larger newspapers, associated with higher-quality journalism, are called broadsheets. A third major format for newspapers is the Berliner, which is sized between the tabloid and the broadsheet. The phrase tabloid press is used to refer to newspapers focusing on less "serious" content, especially celebrities, sports, sensationalist crime stories and even hoaxes, though in recent years several "mainstream" newspapers have begun printing in the tabloid format (see below and supermarket tabloid). The term red top (as in "News International red tops sweep the board") is also used in Britain for these less serious newspapers, on account of the red nameplates used by most of them. Tabloid is also known as the gutter press by people who wish to express it in a negative manner.

Recently, three traditionally broadsheet daily newspapers—The Independent, The Times, and The Scotsman—have switched to tabloid size; due to the negative connotations of the label, they generally try to refer to themselves as being in 'compact' format.

Answer 7

The flippant but painfully true observation is...
tabloids refer in the UK to papers such as Sun, News of the Screws, Star
Broadsheets - Times , Telegraph, Observer etc..
Mids - Daily Express, Daily Mail
Tabloids used to be differentiated by absolutely low est level of news - broadsheets with more in-depth coverage but now...now it is hard to tell the difference. All are riddled with an obsession with celebrities (Guardian ran a page in news on George Michael return gig!) and most broadsheets now focus on as much gossip and tittle tattle as the tabloids. Tabloids never report on news (well not really important things that may affect your life) relegating it to page 2 covering all serious UK and international stories in a page. They hide it behind human interest while all papers now pump their own pathetic agendas - Mail and their hatred towards immigration policies (echoes of their support for Hitler during the war); News of the Wolrd and its shameful approach to all forms of human life and belief it has a moral high ground; Sun and its ghastly sense that it rules the UK. Meanwhile Sunday Times etc are as likely to report on TV personalities as a tabloid - long gone are the days of staff journalists like Pilger or the award winning investigative news team. Like the BBC (recent 6'O'clock report on the Kaiser Chiefs as an exclusive!) or the emasculated and tabloid reporting of the modern day Panorama, news editors are in hock to the belief the public are dumb, spoon feed them nonsesne while worshipoping at the alter of the celebrity idol and wondering why governments are allowed to get away with corruption and lies...not the answer you were looking for but thanks for the chance of letting me share!
