What do you understand by the terms Broadsheet and Tabloid newspapers? Explain in detail what you think are the essential differences between these types of newspapers.

Tabloid newspapers are newspapers that are smaller in size compared to other newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph. Tabloid newspapers contain large photographs and big headlines. Stories in tabloids tend to be short and the front pages capture headlines that are referred to by an added striking photograph. Many of the photographs are visually appealing to readers and also implicate what the headline is referring to. The pages contained in tabloid newspapers are generally designed to be eye catching towards the reader.

Broadsheet newspapers are newspapers that are bigger in size compared to other newspapers such as The Daily Mirror. Broadsheet newspapers contain informative headlines. Photographs are used to illustrate stories and stories are laid out in blocks on the page and they tend to be longer than stories in tabloid papers. Broadsheet papers therefore have more stories on a page relatively due to the fact that the pages are bigger.
