Broadsheets vs tabloids

Broadsheets: The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Times
  • 1 main picture and headline: focus of the page
  • Smaller font so more info can get on a page
  • Small subtitles for other stories
  • Average 3 stories - 1 main and two smaller
  • Subheadings for other stories in the newspaper 
  • All three titles have connotations of wisdom, authority and should be able to rely on them for important information 
  • Small font so readers make more effort to read them 

Tabloids: Daily Mirror, The Sun, Daily Mail
Daily mail is a midpoint between broadsheets and tabloids

  • Lots of pictures
  • Bright contrasting colours 
  • Few words, mostly titles of stories inside the magazine
  • Hardly any detailed information, not so in depth 
  • One main headline 
  • Less formal and informative 
  • Big font sizes/ Bold type face
  • Freebees - free travel tickets
  • Shorter articles, less 'in-depth' reporting 
  • Puns, jokes and headlines 
  • More focused on human interest stories, celebrity gossip
