British tabloid journalism

British tabloid journalism refers to a style of newspaper reporting that emphasizes sensationalism, celebrity gossip, and entertaining stories over in-depth news. Tabloids typically have smaller formats and use bold headlines, eye-catching images, and simple language to attract readers. They often cover topics like scandals, sports, and human interest stories, focusing on emotional appeal. While some tabloids provide real news, their emphasis is often on intrigue and controversy, sometimes leading to ethical concerns about privacy and accuracy. Prominent examples include "The Sun" and "The Mirror."
