What Is The Difference Between A Tabloid And A Broadsheet?

Tabloid and broadsheet newspapers used to be easy to distinguish.  Tabloids were long and thin with lots of pictures.  Broadsheets were fat and short and had more dense writing.  More recently, many of the broadsheets have taken the tabloid formatting style and all broadsheets have included more photographs, colour being now the most obvious choice too.

Tabloids were best known for a lower type of journalism that dealt with sleaze, corruption, sex scandals and other things that their traditionally working and new middle class readership apparently enjoyed.

The broadsheets tended to have better written articles, with much less scandal and gossip, much less sensational headlines and people depended upon them for getting their quota of what could now be called 'serious news'.

These days, the lines between the types of newspaper have blurred.  The Mirror for instance in the UK had move back and forth between serious journalism and comic type nonsense for years.  However, one of the best moves the Mirror took was removing the semi-naked women from its pages, something other tabloids have yet to manage.
