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.

 1} Television News  Television news can mean various different things. The term can refer to television entertainment, sports, advertising, marketing, and editing. Television News has expanded tremendously throughout time on many different platforms.  Lowell Thomas hosted the first-ever, scheduled news broadcast on American television in March 1940.
