Tabloids vs Broadsheet




What are the main difference between a tabloid and a broadsheet?  Tabloid: A smaller than standard newspaper which focuses on less "serious" content, especially celebrities, sports, and sensationalist crime stories. Broadsheet: A standard or full sized newspaper that takes a serious look at major news stories. In the technical sense, tabloid refers to a newspaper that typically measures 11 by 17 inches—smaller than a broadsheet—and is usually no more than five columns across. ... In a crime story, a broadsheet will refer to a police officer, while a tabloid will use the term cop.

What category of newspaper was the Observer in the 1960s?   The Observer is a British newspaper published on Sundays. In the same place on the political spectrum as its sister papers The Guardian and The Guardian Weekly, whose parent company Guardian Media Group Limited acquired it in 1993, it takes a social liberal or social democratic line on most issues.

What category of newspaper is it now?Why?How has it changed?  Both The Guardian and The Observer now use the tabloid format, having done so since January 2018. Despite these format changes, these newspapers are all still considered 'broadsheets'.
