DIfferences between a tabloid, broadsheet and local front covers.



By creating a collage of tabloid, broadsheet and local newspaper front covers I was able to see visually the differences between all three types of newspapers. I have identified that the types of stories are contrasting, the tabloid has a celebrity story as its main headline whereas a broadsheet focuses on politics whereas the local newspaper is discussing local events such as the lose of local services. What is the same about all three types of newspaper is the use of a bold masthead and continuous house colours, all three also have advertisements and san serif fonts. It appears that the broadsheet has more text to image whereas the tabloid and local newspaper are the opposite. The tabloid appears to have bold, san serif headlines all over the front cover whereas the local and broadsheet only appear to have one large, bold headline.
