2. News
• News comes to us from several sources:
word of mouth, newspapers, television,
radio broadcast and online pages (which
we use increasingly)
• Each medium has it’s own format or style,
but we can also identify a journalistic
register of which newspapers are the most
significant users.
3. Types of Newspapers
BROADSHEETS AND TABLOIDS
Each of the national papers can be
characterized as belonging to one or
two distinct categories.
The “ Quality Press” & The “Popular Press”
4. BROADSHEETS (Quality press)
• Broadsheets are quality papers which include
long information articles and editorial comments
and comparatively few illustrations.
• Their Main Aim:
To provide readers with comprehensive
coverage and analysis of the international and
national news of the day.
6. TABLOIDS (Popular Press)
• Tabloids are newspapers having pages half
the size of those of a standard newspaper,
typically popular in style and dominated
by headlines, photographs, and
sensational stories
