Topic: Tabloid journalism

	Journalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		News-oriented journalism often is described as the "first draft of history." Even though journalists often write news articles to a deadline, news media usually edit and proofread the results prior to publication.
		Journalism has as its main activity the reporting of events — stating who, what, when, where, why and how, and explaining the significance and effect of events or trends.
		Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television, radio, magazines and, since the end of 20th century, the Internet.

	Tabloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tabloid is a newspaper format particularly popular in the United Kingdom, which is roughly 23½ by 14 3/4 inches (597 by 375 mm) per spread.
		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.
		In the People's Republic of China, Chinese tabloids have exploded in popularity since the mid-1990s and have tested the limits of press censorship by taking editorial positions critical of the government and for engaging in critical investigative reporting.

		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.

		Central to her argument is that the recent rise of tabloid journalism has a beneficial effect: that the traditional male-centred public sphere is being conflated with the private sphere.
		Journalism which is preoccupied with diets and baldness cures is a departure from the news basis of journalism.
		She points out that tabloid media 'also frequently spurns traditional forms of knowledge - medicine, science and economics - for their irrational populist counterparts, faither healing, astrology and psychics.' This is true, and arises from popular journalism own roots in folk tales, gossip and the pre-scientific era.

		Tabloid journalism blurs the distinction between fact and fantasy, but defenders say it is the only way to get the truth out there without the binds of traditional journalism
		Tabloids never tell readers that their material is true, creating a loophole for the justification of glorified fiction and sensationalized truths.
		Tabloid journalists are quick to justify their twist on news and account for their brand of investigative journalism, which have been said to border on inappropriate prying and invasion of privacy.

	NewStandard: 9/7/97
		Tabloid tactics like checkbook journalism and the unrelenting coverage of private lives began triggering a stream of stories that infiltrated the mainstream news flow.
		Journalism was no longer a craft but a profession, like law or medicine, and reporters were expected to act accordingly; the "boys" of the '20s and '30s were transformed into men.
		Other times journalism simply holds up the binoculars so that we might all get a better look at others doing things that may be none of our business but are nevertheless sustenance for the voyeur in all of us.

		A tabloid is a term for the style of the newspapers that — especially in the United Kingdom — tend to use the tabloid format.
		In the UK, the tabloid, at roughly 23½ by 14¾ inches per spread, is the smaller of two standard newspaper sizes; the larger newspapers, associated with higher quality journalism, are called broadsheets.
		This is a format slightly larger than the traditional British tabloid, already used by several European papers such as Berliner Morgenpost, Das Bild and Le Monde.

	Sports Nippon - Japan Tabloid Journalism
		Differing perhaps in degree from other tabloids, Sports Nippon like its peers offers its readers a steady and predictable diet of sports, Japan's gei-no-kai (the lurid goings-on of figures in the public eye), sex, and scandal.
		To be honest, before I started working at a tabloid, I didn't even know there was an entertainment page--I only read the sports section...I'm in my seventh year now, and in the future I hope I will get the chance to move over into sports.
		But, for example in the case of a sarakin [loan shark] company getting into the news for something, say, a bit unsavory, nothing is really said from the editors but there is definitely an understanding...we are also a part of the Mainichi group--which includes the newspaper and Mainichi Television Station--so we would rarely criticize them.

	Tabloid Journalism
		The results of sensationalistic tabloid journalism can be seen in recent events in our modern time, such as the OJ Simpson trial.
		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.

		Its one thing to read tabloids for entertainment, but it’s a whole other thing to read them and be stupid enough to think that what they’re reading is actual journalism.
		Some believe that tabloid journalism is ruining the credibility of legitimate news.
		I realize you mentioned the fact that many people consider tabloids entertainment, but as Daniel stated, your argument seems to imply that all readers and writers of tabloids are "second class citizens versus the media uninformed".

		Today, the wall between the so-called fact-based standards of mainstream journalism and the "never-let-facts-stand-in-the-way-of-a-good-story" standards associated with tabloid journalism is porous.
		He lambasted mainstream journalism as "house-trained," mired in "monarchical deference" instead of digging into stories and tossing some dirt along the way, "The respectable media have achieved a weird distinction: They're boring without being serious," Steyn stated, contending that the "tabloid reptiles" work harder at getting juicy stories than mainstream reporters.
		While few feel that tabloid Visigoths are on the verge of sacking the standards of mainstream journalism, the increasing prevalence of tabloid-style stories on the pages of prestigious newspapers and on network newscasts is causing alarm.

	American Journalism Review
		Although there have always been tabloids of serious intent (Newsday being a notable example), the public image of tabloid journalism calls to mind sensationalism with lots of blood and gore and often something other than "family-friendly" journalism.
		The "yellow journalism" of the late 19th century spread to many broadsheets for a time, and the Denver Post, under Harry Tammen and Fred Bonfils, raised sensationalism to irresponsible levels in the early decades of the 20th century.
		But it was the tabloids of New York that put a stamp on tabloid journalism, even though many other tabs were not sensationalist.

	The Golden Mean: Comment on Real Journalism v. Tabloid Bullshit... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		I agree that confusing tabloid writers with actual journalists is an asinine thing to do as most intelligent individuals should be able tell the difference; however, to assert that readers and writers of tabloids are "of less intellect than readers and writers of real journalism" is a flawed statement.
		I’ve met plenty of journalism majors who enjoy gossiping about movie stars, musicians, and all those other so-called unintelligent topics that are routinely covered in tabloids.
		From what I can gather, we are both saying that there is nothing wrong with tabloids so long as they are consumed with the knowledge that they are simply entertainment, and that reading tabloids for entertainment purposes has no bearing on an individual's intellegence.

		Lumby believes tabloid journalism brings a "valuable and democratic contribution to our media culture, and for this reason deserve to be taken seriosly as any other media form.".
		It is well known that the tabloids focus heavily on achieving high sales figues - in many cases this is their primary objective - as a result ideas of journalistic responsibility and ethical practises are set aside, while the objective of selling lots of papers and obtaining high ratings is given priority.
		While there is no doubt tabloid journalism is centred in entertainment and can be seen as ;light' journalism, one could argue that it is no less thought provoking and informative because of this description.

	Brief History of the Tabloids
		For over a decade, the tabloids could always count on a good story about Judy Garland overdosing and getting her stomach pumped, getting married over and over, drunkenly trashing her fellow stars in public, passing out in her food and other unsavory activities.
		The tabloids were able to milk the tragedy for yet another year by having Garland's ghost popping up virtually everywhere around the world (getting her stomach pumped and missing concert dates, I guess).
		Luckily (for the tabloid publishers), there were problems coming to light between the two stars almost immediately - which seems only natural, considering the stress of a runaway hit television series along with a hectic recording/touring schedule.

		Hamill had begun to challenge the tabloid ethic of the '80s and '90s that declares "news" to be whatever Diana and Dodi, Donald and Ivana, Madonna and Whoever, had for brunch.
		A high-school grad, he says he doesn't "know what the hell they teach in journalism schools." For one brief, ridiculous month, he was named editor of the New York Post, when it was briefly and chaotically owned by a strange millionaire named Abe Hirschfeld.
		In picking Hamill, Zuckerman had chosen tabloid journalism's original renaissance man -- the author of eight novels, two short-story collections and two journalism collections and a representative, with the late Murray Kempton, of the press's glory days, when news was news and gossip was gossip.

	AlterNet: MediaCulture: Journalism Under Fire
		My life in journalism began 54 years ago, on my 16th birthday, in the summer before my junior year in high school, when I went to work as a cub reporter for the Marshall News Messenger in the East Texas town of 20,000 where I had grown up.
		Journalism took me to famine and revolution in Africa and to war in Central America; it took me to the bedside of the dying and delivery rooms of the newborn.
		Wasserman acknowledges, as I do, that there is some world-class journalism being done all over the country today, but he went on to speak of "a palpable sense of decline, of rot, of a loss of spine, determination, gutlessness" that pervades our craft.

		It is instead the emergence of the equivalent of tabloids in blog-space: commercial entities whose sole purpose is to generate ad revenue, who do that by being as ridiculous and extreme as possible.
		Just as the British tabloids care little about the truth in their path to selling papers, commercial blog-loids care little about the truth in trying to attract eyeballs.
		And it is here that the cycle turn vicious: for the amateur space feeds the professional troll by careful and repeated efforts to show that claims made are false or outrageous.
