The daily national newspapers in British have two modality, which are broadsheet and tabloid.Broadsheets include The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Independent and The Times and so on. Its article is almost about politics and other serious. And the outstanding feather of broadsheets are mor text and fewer pictrres.
Basically, the tabliod is more informal than the broadsheet.Tabloids are generally smalle.Tabloids include The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Star, The Daily Express etc. The most of tabloid articles are about human interest stories with more pictures, less text and simpler english.
Next, I choose a topic as an example of each what different they are. In The Sun, its headline is 'Take The Plunge: do's and don'ts'. There are eleven pictures and less text with the simpler english on The Sun. However, about The Times newspaper, its headline is 'Prahran Markets heaven for foodies'. Just only one picture and have a lot of text on it. Additionally, broadsheet and tabloid obvious difference is the content of article.Broadsheets have more in-depth coverage of a news story, with longer articles. There are more "feature" articles in the paper. Broadsheets are usually read by more educated people and by more people in authority. On the contray, Tabloids are smaller with short articles with short sentences. They are more sensational and the language is more general and readable by less educated people. They also often contain more photographs than the Broadsheets. Tabloids cover less importatant stories and have more "gossip". Therefore, that is the reason why people like The Sun. Personally, I also like The Sun to read.
Good-so which newspapers would you choose to read?
