a newspaper with smaller pages and many pictures, covering stories about famous people and not much serious news

What is a "tabloid"?

A tabloid is a type of newspaper or magazine that is smaller in size than a broadsheet, typically focusing on sensational news, celebrity gossip, and scandals. Tabloids often emphasize dramatic stories, eye-catching headlines, and colorful images to attract readers. While they can include serious news, they are generally known for their focus on entertainment, crime, and human interest stories. Due to their sensational content and style, tabloids are often seen as less formal or credible than other types of publications.

What is a "headline"?

A headline is the title or main heading of an article in a newspaper, magazine, or online publication. It is typically written in large, bold text to grab readers' attention and provide a summary of the article's main point or topic. Headlines are designed to be eye-catching and informative, offering a brief preview of the content within the article. They help readers quickly determine whether the article is of interest to them, and are often the first thing people see when browsing through a publication.
