tabloids and public opinion
Tabloids are sensationalized newspapers or magazines that focus on entertainment, celebrities, and scandalous stories to capture attention. Public opinion refers to the collective attitudes, beliefs, and preferences of the general population about issues, leaders, or events. The media, including tabloids, influence public opinion by shaping perceptions, often emphasizing certain topics or framing stories in specific ways. While tabloids can sway opinions through sensationalism, public opinion is also shaped by broader factors like personal experiences, social norms, and other media sources. Together, they play a role in shaping societal attitudes and conversations.
