Tabloid vs Broadsheet

-Images
-One main headline
-Pun titles
-Gossip
-Less formal
-Less informative
-Colourful
- Big font sizes

Broadsheet
-More informative
-One main image
-Bigger size generally
-Subheadings
-Titles
-More trustworthy

There are many differences between a tabloid and a broadsheet, this can be seen visually by the pictures to the right with the first and more colourful one being a tabloid and the second being a broadsheet.

First difference in the two as previously mentioned is the way it is presented like how the tabloid front cover has a colourful picture with the main headline taking up pretty much the entire paper while the broadsheet also has a picture that takes up a lot of the paper however its main headline is a lot smaller and the majority of the front cover is sub text that is a lot more informative than all of the headings that are being presented on the tabloid, so that a broadsheet is seen as a lot more formal than the tabloid because around 25% of the paper is covered by a picture while the remaining 75% is covered with headings and informative text.

Also with tabloids the news that is presented is seen as not useful and completely uninformative because most of the time it is information like celebrity gossip this is called soft news which is something you wouldn't expect would make it in the news while with a broadsheet it displays what you would call hard news which is what you would expect to be the main story and is seen as more serious than tabloids.
