Tabloid and broadsheet In the United Kingdom, newspapers can be classified by distribution as local or national and by page size as tabloids and broadsheets. There is often an implication that tabloids cater for more vulgar tastes than broadsheets. Within the tabloid category some titles are classed as red-tops because of the design of their front pages. Newspapers that consider themselves more serious often use this term deprecatingly.
Since newspapers began as a way to journal, or keep a record of, current events, the profession, which is involved in, the making of newspapers began to be called journalism.

Yours is an interesting comparison of tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. I liked how you focused on the story of a girl who by the age of 18 had three children with three different men. Because of less sensational coverage, many would probably agree with your preference for the broadsheet The Sunday Times over the tabloid Daily Mail. Nice work! This seems virtually the same as your previous essay which is similarly titled "Comparison on tabloid and broadsheet newspapers: On Courtney mother of three at the age of 18.
