TABLOIDS AND BROADSHEETS IN BRITAIN

TABLOIDS AND BROADSHEETS IN BRITAIN

LOWBROW DAILY TABLOID NEWSPAPERS
The Sun, The Mirror, The Star. They all cover sport, gossip, scandalous stories about the Royal family and celebrities, and contain lots of competitions, free gifts, and pictures of topless girls. The Mirror is traditionally more left-wing. The Sun is the biggest-selling British daily.
MIDDLEBROW DAILY TABLOIDS
The Daily Mail, The Daily Express. Both are right of centre, and aim for middle class, middle-aged, middle brow England. They feature sport and gossip, but also plenty of commentary on politics and current issues.
HIGHBROW DAILY BROADSHEETS
The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Independent, The Scotsman (in Scotland). The Daily Telegraph is politically to the right, The Guardian to the left, The Times slightly right of centre, and The Independent claims to be impartial. Intensive coverage of news and politics. However, they all also provide extensive sports coverage, lots of features, and The Times, in particular, is not afraid to publish a bit of celebrity gossip.
SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS
All the above newspapers have Sunday equivalents, with the exception of The Sun and The Guardian, whose approximate equivalents would be The News of the World and The Observer. Sunday newspapers in Britain are huge, and filled with lots of supplements: magazines, separate sports and arts sections, etc.
