2} Tabloid Media



TABLOID JOURNALISM

The purpose of a tabloid is to entertain its readers by printing outlandish, lurid, and sensational stories about topics like pop culture and crime. Many people compare tabloid media to Newspapers but there is a main difference. A newspaper's main focus is to inform its readers about news, politics, or sports. Newspapers are heavily fact-checked and only publish reputable content. Tabloids on the other hand print exciting, sensational stories about pop culture. Most commonly, the term tabloid refers to a "condensed" newspaper or website that features criminal activity, scandal, and even astrology. 

Today we often think of tabloids as cheesy celebrity gossip magazines found in the local supermarket. However, tabloids have a long history of celebrity lives and other stories that grab a reader's attention. 

The Tabloids are magazines focused on salacious celebrity gossip and sensational news, which you know must be considered with a certain degree of skepticism. Love it or hate, Tabloid Journalism has a long and enduring history as not only a form of entertainment but also a metric by which to evaluate our devotion to freedom of speech. Tabloids are often over-exaggerated and often false, but we love them anyway.
