Broadsheets and Tabloids

Having gone through a lesson on the forms of newspapers, I have learnt some things.

Firstly, tabloids are basically gossip, but broadsheets are news, and are generally very factual. Examples of Singaporean broadsheets are The Straits Times, and tabloids include The New Paper. Although there are specific examples, most newspapers are in between the two types.

Broadsheets and tabloids are also differentiated by their size. Broadsheets are generally larger and tabloids the size of an average magazine. Although this is generally true, there are some broadsheets taking the size of a tabloid.

So if one wants to know the facts, one should generally go for broadsheets, and if one wants to devote oneself to fantastical scandals, one should go for tabloids. I myself would prefer the broadsheet as I find it useless to find out gossip instead of find out facts about current world events.
