You may have noticed the fact
that all newspapers are not of the same size; some are big, some small and some
are very small. Newspapers are classified into three categories according to
their size. They are broadsheets, tabloids and Berliners or Midis. Morning
newspapers are generally broadsheets. They are big in size. In India, all major
newspapers are broadsheets. Examples include “The Times of India “and
“Hindustan Times”.Tabloids are only half the size of broadsheets. In India most
of the evening papers are tabloids. Examples are “Mid-day” and “ Metro
Now”.Presently some of the new morning papers have also adopted the tabloid
format.

Berliners or Midis are very
small newspapers. European papers such as La Monde and La Stampa are Midis. “
Mint ” is the name of a Berliner published in India. In India, some magazines
print special booklets in this format.
Can you now tell the size of
the newspaper that you read every day ? Is it a broadsheet or a tabloid?
