The first main difference is the size of the paper; broadsheets are smaller now-a-days but they used to be very ‘broad’ hence the name. The subject of discussion is very diverse, tabloid newspapers often stretch the truth and elaborate for dramatic effect – the stories are main based around celebrities. Broadsheets however, are based around politics and the economy which appeals more to people in middle to upper class, whereas redtops intrigue the majority of the working class.

The size of the font and the images are effective in each type; a tabloid for example The Sun uses overly large/bold font which fills the majority of the page this makes it more eye-catching and lighter reading. Broadsheets such as The Guardian propose more intense reading and the majority of pages are covered with text – small images are used to correspond with the text, and some large images are used occasionally and usually featured on the front page. The contents of a tabloid are mainly made up of images either appearing to the side of text to catch attention and make the

reading more comprehendible.

Double page spreads in newspaper magazines vary in content/subject. Images are used in both, but in a magazine targeting a lower-class, the images may be bigger and the page may be more colourful. The subjects are often more bold in a tabloid magazine and more complex in a broadsheet/ middle-upper class magazine.

HEADLINES ARE USED TO CAPTURE AND SUMMARIZE THE EVENT OF WHICH IS BEING PORTRAYED. THEY ARE USUALLY BOLD, SHARP AND SOMETIMES A PLAY ON WORDS FOR A HUMOUROUS EFFECT (more common in tabloids). BROADHSEET NEWSPAPERS ARE MORE POLITICALLY BASED AND THE HEADLINES DO NOT TEND TO BE HUMOUROUS – THEY ARE LONGER AND MORE INTENSE WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO GET A SENSE OF A NARRATIVE OR SUBJECT. PUNS, ALLITERATION, WORD PLAY AND HUMOUR WHICH APPEALS TO IT’S READERS AND MAKES READING MORE ENJOYABLE. HEADLINES ARE BOLD AND LARGE IN SOME CASES TAKEN UP HALF A PAGE, AND THEY ARE USUALLY POSITIONED ALONGSIDE AN IMAGE THAT ALSO SUMMARISES EVENTS.
