Popluar Newspapers / Tabloids

After my Post about Quality Newspapers, here my new post over Popular Newspapers. This type of newspaper is also called Tabloid.

Tabloids are known for their celebrity news and pictures. Sometimes their called „gutter“ press. Popular Newspapers profit from the stars and the stars profit often from the popular newspapers. Nobody can live without the other.

But there are a lot of more differences between quality and popular newspapers. A first look on a tabloid shows, that the headlines on the cover are very big and sensational. These attention-grabbing headlines often using puns or containing alliteration. With the headline tabloids bond their readers and are so a big and important part.

Furthermore is the content and layout is different. A popular newspaper use a subjective language and try so to catch the reader with his emotions. The texts are short and have less informations than quality newspapers.

Tabloids are for example:

• The Sun
• The Daily Mirror
• The Daily Mail
• The Daily Express
• News of the world

In Germany we have also tabloids. The most famous tabloid is the "Bild Zeitung". Here the website: www.bild.de
