The Difference Between A Tabloid And A Broadsheet Newspaper
In this essay I will be explaining the differences between a broadsheet and a tabloid newspaper. Some of these differences range from the type of language used, to the format of the newspaper itself.
Firstly I will discuss the layout of the newspapers. The tabloid newspaper is on A3 paper whereas the broadsheet papers use A2. Tabloid papers also use a lot more front-page space dedicated to pictures and headlines. For example in Tuesday’s The Sun there is a picture of Tracy Shaw, which takes up about a third of the front-page. It also has smaller pictures of Victoria Beckham and David Beckham. In the Times on the same day the main picture takes up less than a quarter of the front-cover. Headlines are also a lot bigger in a tabloid paper as the front-covers main headline took up about half the page. The Times is a lot different as the headline takes up a very small percentage of the page and most of the page is dedicated to writing.
