Newspapers in Britain
'Tabloid' is a term, used for substances which
were compressed into pills. The tabloids 'compress' the news and are printed on small sheets of
paper. They contain sensational stories, using techniques such as very large headlines and
photographs. Tabloids do not contain much serious news, but offer plenty of sport and 'human
interest' plus a bit of 'scandal'. The most popular are The Sun, The Mirror, The Express and the
Daily Mail.
Popular Sunday papers began in the mid-ninteenth century and were aimed at people who could not
afford more expensive daily papers. The quality Sunday papers (The Sunday Times, The Observer
and The Independent on Sunday) devote large sections to literature and the arts, business and sport,
and have long feature articles which explore specific subjects in depth. They come with colour
supplements or magazines.
