Listen to a student talking about the British press and complete the table.
Answer
- Types of papers: There are two main types of newspapers - quality papers (broadsheets) and popular papers (tabloids).
- Format: Quality papers used to be printed on large or broad sheets, hence the name broadsheets. However, many quality papers have switched to the tabloid or compact format for easier reading.
- Layout: Tabloids have a lively layout with big headlines, large colored pictures, and shorter articles. They often include letters to the editor and pages of advertisements. Broadsheets have a more serious layout, with fewer colors and longer news reports.
- Language: Tabloids use a more colloquial language, while broadsheets use a more academic language. Tabloids aim to address the reader's emotions and instincts, while broadsheets focus on reliable reports and present news in a series of reliable reports.
