	Tabloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In its traditional sense, tabloids tend to emphasise sensational stories and are reportedly prone to create their news if they feel that the subjects cannot, or will not, sue for libel.
		The phrase tabloid press is used to refer to newspapers focusing on less "serious" content, especially celebrities, sports, sensationalist crime stories and even hoaxes, though in recent years several "mainstream" newspapers have begun printing in the tabloid format (see below and supermarket tabloid).
		A tabloid is a newspaper format particularly popular in the United Kingdom.

	Tabloid Television
		Tabloid television's explosion was abetted by a number of significant changes in American broadcasting that occurred during the 1980s.
		This is not to say that tabloid talk shows have a political agenda of anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-classism, or anti-homophobia, but rather that in opening themselves to the participation of a very broad range of voices, they necessarily encourage potentially progressive conflicts over cultural, racial and sexual politics.
		But tabloid talk shows are marked by a level of indiscipline that often disrupts the enforcement of norms and allows people who are disadvantaged by those norms to talk back against them.

	Poynter Online - The March of the Tabloids
		It is this myth of the tabloid or, better yet, the irrational fear of some editors and publishers of the word "tabloid" itself that keeps many from contemplating the idea of testing their newspaper in a smaller format.
		It is not surprising that the birth of tabloids, around 1830, was accompanied by two characteristics that are, ironically, the same that motivate publishers and editors to convert to smaller formats today: 1.
		However, it is with the early tabloids in large metropolitan areas that one first sees human interest stories on page one, presented with greater visual impact than ever before, with images playing as important a role as text.

	Tabloid Journalism
		Beginning in 1901, "tabloid" was used to identify a special type of newspaper--one that was condensed, usually half the size of a normal newspaper.
		The tabloids attempt to captivate or persuade the masses with their colors and headlines about wonderful, amazing, and even shocking stories.
		The results of sensationalistic tabloid journalism can be seen in recent events in our modern time, such as the OJ Simpson trial.

	Topical Words: Tabloid
		In its defence, that firm pointed out that tabloid was by then widely used, mentioning recent issues of Punch, Tatler, Nature, and the Daily Mirror (another tabloid, founded that year), which had employed phrases such as “opera in tabloid”, “tabloid melodrama”, “knowledge in tabloid form”, “tabloid missives” and “modern art in tabloid”.
		The first recorded use of tabloid for this style of journalism is from the very beginning of the twentieth century, from the Westminster Gazette of 1 January 1901.
		Burroughs Wellcome, it was argued, had thereby lost all rights to tabloid and that the action was “an attempt on the part of the plaintiff to prevent the proper development of the English language”.

	Supermarket tabloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Supermarket tabloids are national weekly magazines in the United States, printed on newsprint in tabloid format, specializing in celebrity news, gossip, astrology, and bizarre (some would say apocryphal) stories about ordinary people.
		Unlike regular tabloid-format newspapers, supermarket tabloids are distributed through the magazine distribution channel, similarly to other weekly magazines and mass-market paperback books.
		They are often found for sale alongside the checkout lines of supermarkets.

	Salon 21st Network to Tabloid: drop ads
		After Tabloid published Webster's letter (complete with e-mail address) and the notice of termination from Flycast, Webster says she was assaulted by a rash of mean-spirited e-mails with comments like, "You are nothing but a quivering mound of gristle," and other, more obscene abuse.
		Tabloid's offending story, which ran under the headline "Subway Whale," told of a 450-pound New Yorker who was denied a job with the New York Transit Authority.
		In the termination letter it sent to Tabloid editors, Flycast said it had received complaints from three of its "largest advertisers," although it would not specify which advertisers.

		The decision to target the commuter market is thought to have been influenced partly by the success of Associated Newspapers' Metro, a daily tabloid distributed free of charge at public transport hubs in several UK cities.

	Salon Media Tabloid nation
		To hear him tell it, tabloid TV simply morphed into network news magazines, syndicated talk shows, ceaseless cable "news" coverage and those morning programs where the men all wear sweaters and the coffee is decaffeinated.
		Disney is one of many who may not be pleased at how they are depicted in "Tabloid Baby." Her stated desire to class up "A Current Affair" clashed with some of the excesses that occurred on her watch -- most notably Steve Dunleavy's payment to a witness in the William Kennedy Smith trial.
		But for Kearns, who is in New York promoting his book "Tabloid Baby," an amusing if somewhat self-serving account of his years in the business, most people just don't get it.
