Differences between Broadsheet and Tabloid

 Broadsheet:-

Broadsheet papers are more formal than tabloids. Originally, they where A2 paper size, hence the name but most have reduced their size to reduce costs. Many have more subtle metaphors and complex sentences as it is aimed at people with a higher reading age. Also, it gives more facts and statistics rather that the journalists view which makes them a more reliable source of information than tabloids. 







Tabloid:-

Tabloids are much more informal than broadsheets. As you can see from this example of the daily star, it look extremely childish and like the cover of a comic rather than a newspaper. They have much simpler puns and a lot of exaggeration. It is colloquial and informal, for example in this paper they refer to the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and "Bozo." There are also offers on the front page such as holiday offers and free things inside.
