Tabloid
What is a "tabloid"?
A tabloid is a type of newspaper or magazine that is smaller in size than a broadsheet, typically focusing on sensational news, celebrity gossip, and scandals. Tabloids often emphasize dramatic stories, eye-catching headlines, and colorful images to attract readers. While they can include serious news, they are generally known for their focus on entertainment, crime, and human interest stories. Due to their sensational content and style, tabloids are often seen as less formal or credible than other types of publications.
