tabloid/broadsheet newspapers

[milan2003_07]

Hello everyone,

In most of the countries, I presume, there are or there used to be newspapers full of gossip (rumours), scandal, lies, and maybe some provocative pictures. I have searched in Google and found the options "tabloid newspapers" or "broadsheet newspapers".

Here are the links:

tabloid newspaper - Поиск в Google

www.google.com

broadsheet newspaper - Поиск в Google

www.google.com

My experience says "tabloid newspapers". Am I right or both are possible?

Yes, in general, tabloids are smaller papers and tend to include celebrity gossip etc, and broadsheets are larger (hence the name) and much more serious.

In the UK, The Sun, The Daily Mail and the Daily Express are examples of tabloids, and The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Independent are examples of broadsheets.

In America, probably the most famous of the salacious tabloids in the National Enquirer.

Thanks Probus for your reply and also for the new word "salacious" that has expanded my vocabulary!
