  Tabloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
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.
Other prominent US tabloids are the Philadelphia Daily News, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, Newsday on New York's Long Island and The Examiner, which is a free newspaper published in San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

Last week the The Sun newspaper (for those of you in the US, think supermarket tabloid meets New York Post, with a picture of a topless model on page three), decided to scale back the content available on its site, in order to improve the paper's falling circulation.
It seems that in the pure entertainment field where The Sun largely operates, online content of the nature that appears in the paper - celebrity stories, kiss and tells etc - is too perishable to make people bother to buy the paper as well.
Online tabloid papers need to do something different to what they do in print, whether that be a place to buy the products pushed in the paper or for live events where you can "virtually" meet the celebs they write about.
