Small is beautiful-so it seems with newspapers too. The small newspapers about half the size of the normal newspaper (broadsheet) are called tabloids. ‘New York Daily News’ is the first tabloid in the US founded in 1919. Tabloid paper size is, usually, 17 by 11 inches.

Tabloids, in general, are known to feed on sensationalism. They give more importance to pictures of stars, celebrities, crime and articles on sports and spoofs. The best examples for such tabloids are ‘The Sun’ tabloid and ‘New York Post’ with crass content and screaming headlines along with their exclusive photo galleries. These tabloids do not worry about the facts. However, there are exceptions too. Tabloids which prefer to call themselves as compact newspaper are as reliable as any broadsheet newspaper, with good content.

Tabloids like ‘The National Enquirer’ and ‘The Globe’ are called supermarket tabloids as they distributed like magazines. These tabloids have big fonts which could be read easily and have a wide array of photo gallery to attract readers. Tabloids like ‘The Sun’ newspaper are very popular among the commuters as it could be read easily on trains, sub-ways and buses unlike the big newspapers.
