Tabloids are like the newspaper for the masses. They are cheaper and easier to understand. I think when people hear tabloids, they think of sexy pictures, pornographic stories, gossips. But here are really decent tabloids out therein fact, I read one.

Indeed tabloids are cheaper but I prefer the newspaper one its almost double the price but the content and stuff you can read from it triple or even quadruple than the tabloid content. Tabloid is more on gossip. I would like to think that gossip is not good fora healthy lifestyle.

i don't like reading broadsheets because sometimes i feel like some of the articles there don't really interest me. but i still respect your choice.

The stiff competition between these tabloids are the reason why some of them resort to publish these sexy pictures, stories and gossips. This is the negative side of them since most tabloids are depicted as such. Sad to say that to be able to sell they have to resort to this kind of stories.

i also hate those kind of tabloids but i guess they are the most popular. i often see them in the street and a lot of younger teens see them.

despite the impression about tabloids, there are still a few which are legit.

I hate those kind of tabloids which are about celebrity gossip. I don't really care about that, I don't approve of exploiting celebrities and people involved with them that much, also, I think this kind of media is what makes the youth of today act really scandalously, as scandalous behaviour is kind of promoted by them. But I read women's magazines a lot, or at least more than tabloids (because there are a diversity of topics, relationship and workplace advice, cultural recommendations etc.). I don't know if they can be considered tabloids. I'm not talking about pricier ones like Cosmo. But cheaper ones.

i also hate those kinds of tabloids since i feel like they are sensationalizing things about celebrities just to sell.

It is seldom that a person can find a decent tabloid. If a person is hungry for gossiping news, they go for this newspaper. It does not add value to my life, so I do not buy it.
