 Vail Daily News for Vail and Beaver Creek Colorado - News
If you think the tabloids have been rough in the way they've covered the Kobe Bryant case so far, Shapiro, who was in Eagle County to investigate the case for the CBS magazine show "48 Hours," said you haven't seen anything yet.
Tabloid journalism depends on shock value and manipulating information and people, said Shapiro, and obtaining information to which they might not be legally entitled.
Among tabloids' favorite techniques is calling in misinformation to police officers, lying about a fight in some celebrity's residence, then skulking in the bushes until the police show up to check it out, Shapiro said.

 Encyclopedia: Supermarket tabloid
Supermarket tabloids are national weekly magazines in the United States, printed on newsprint in tabloid format, specalizing 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.

And in Florida's Tabloid Valley, south of Palm Beach, where the Enquirer and Globe make their home (the Star is in suburban New York), where Harvard whiz kids and dissolute Britishers pack the pubs to swap stories and feed disinformation to their rivals, this gives rise to mixed emotions.
This was the peak of the prime-time soaps; TV stars like Joan Collins were glamorous, larger-than-life divas, and the tabloids, like their British models, have always been partly about class.

One of the rituals of standing in line at the supermarket is taking a look at the tabloids and smirking at them.
"Supermarket tabloid" has become shorthand for "Outlandish garbage which I, of course, would never read or believe." But there they are, year after year, so obviously people are buying them, if only for the laugh that they afford.
But not the celebrity gossip tabloids - those weak, halfhearted items which are unbelievable only in the milder senses of the word.

Supermarket tabs don't operate in monopoly markets and don't sell by subscription.
Supermarket tabloids know that readers connect first of all with the image, then the words, so they make sure photographs are unique, powerful and express strong emotions.
However, Public Eye, a short-lived Canadian tabloid did much better by inviting readers, through a box at the end of major stories, to Be The Judge, and phone in their opinions to an 800 number.

 Sans Fig Leaf - 6/11/99
Recently one of those supermarket tabloids splashed a certain salsa-belting wunderkind's name and face on its cover with the question, "His he gay?" in 96-point type.
I thought it was funny at first because all of the gay news outlets had been talking about him for months, even before the rest of America discovered him after a rather hot performance at the Grammies.
While we like to point at those tabloids or at trash-TV shows and blame them for the "coarsening" of our culture, the truth is that neither the tabloids or the trashy-chat shows would exist if there were not a LOT of people willing to buy the garbage.

 New Media Musings: Assaulting Kobe's accuser
Salon (subscription or day pass required) has the scoop on the low-class journalism on full display this week on the cover of the supermarket tabloid the Globe.
The tabloid ran a scantily clad photo of Kobe Bryant's accuser taken at her high school prom with the headline, "Kobe's Accuser: Did she really say no?" The decision to use the photo was given the go-ahead by Bonnie Fuller, editor in chief of the American Media chain.
"The tabloidization of the American media is horrid and unstoppable," said Stephen Isaacs, a professor of journalism at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, who teaches a class on ethics.

And that's one reason why the tabloids have a problem in the marketplace today, because many magazines and television news have taken on a tabloid voice.

 I Believe the National Enquirer - Why don't you? By Jack Shafer
Almost three decades ago, the National Enquirer abandoned the traditional supermarket tabloid formula of UFOs, bizarre sex, séances, gross-outs, Loch Ness-ish monsters, cooked-up stories, and celebrity gossip for a new formula mostly devoted to celebrities.
Instead, the tabloid is regarded slightly worse today than it was in 1985, according to a new survey conducted by the Pew Research Center.
Respondents were asked to rate news organizations on a 1-to-4 scale, with 1 representing "I believe all or most" of what the news organization says and 4 representing "I believe almost nothing." Only 4 percent of the polled group believed all or most of what the Enquirer says, and a whopping 61 percent believed nothing.

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Workers began pumping a potent chemical into the former headquarters of a supermarket tabloid Sunday to clean up the first target in a series of deadly anthrax attacks in 2001.
The arrival of anthrax in the mail at the building was the first in a series of still-unsolved attacks that killed five people, among them photo editor Bob Stevens of AMI's tabloid the Sun.
The attacks emptied Senate offices and a major mail processing center in the Washington area, rattling a nation shaken by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks a month earlier.

A collection of 4.5 million images, along with 305,000 pounds of press clippings, other pictures and periodicals once owned by American Media Inc. had been stored in sealed containers since someone mailed the anthrax to the building in Oct. 2001.
