Topic: Compact (newspaper)


  
  Compact (newspaper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A compact newspaper is a British term referring to a broadsheet-quality newspaper printed in a tabloid format.
The term "compact" was coined in the 1970s by the Daily Mail when that newspaper went tabloid, although the Mail now calls itself a tabloid.
It is often used to differentitate newspapers with more traditional content from those with a flamboyant or salacious publishing style, even though they may share the same size.

 The World (newspaper) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glover intends to model the newspaper on the French newspaper Le Monde, and plans to shun celebrity-oriented tabloid news.
Glover's plan comes from his belief that broadsheet readers are increasingly disillusioned with the "dumbing-down" of their newspapers and that over 100,000 readers have stopped reading quality daily papers already.
Sales of broadsheet and compact newspapers have increased slightly over the past ten years, and the Financial Times is still a highly upmarket publication.

The opening for the Times is in international news coverage, which has been reduced by many U.S. newspapers; business coverage, given that London is a global financial center; and the arts, in which I would argue that we have the world's classiest and cleverest writers.
Newspapers already have wonderful "social networks," whether in the feedback that has long been a part of the relationship between reader and paper or the fact that great reporting sets the news agenda.

In 2004, The Independent was named National Newspaper of the Year at the British Press Awards, "the Oscars of the newspaper industry."
