tabloid newspaper

A tabloid newspaper is a type of publication characterized by its smaller size, usually about half the dimensions of a standard newspaper. It often focuses on sensational stories, celebrity gossip, entertainment, and scandal, aiming to attract quick interest and reader engagement. While some tabloids cover serious news, many emphasize entertainment and human interest stories, sometimes prioritizing sensationalism over depth. They are widely circulated and accessible, appealing to a broad audience seeking quick, engaging reads. The term "tabloid" can also refer to the style of journalism associated with these newspapers, which may sometimes prioritize eye-catching headlines over comprehensive reporting.
