2. Introduction
• A newspaper is a publication that is issued daily or weekly and includes
local and international news stories, advertisements, announcements,
opinions, cartoons, sports news and television listings. It is an
important method of letting the public know everything that is
happening in their local area and around the world. Even with the
advancements in computer technology, newspapers continue to be an
important aspect of everyday life. It is important to know the sections
of the newspaper and what information each one contains. The front
page has the most important stories of the day. Each story has its own
"headline" and a "by-line" giving the name of the reporter who wrote
the story.

3. I. Broadsheet
• is used both to refer to a generic paper size, and to specific types
of publications which have historically been produced . The classic example
of a broadsheet is a wide-circulation newspaper, with the broadsheet size
being preferred by many newspaper publishers. Newspapers which are
intended to act as major news authorities are classically printed on
broadsheet-sized pieces of paper. As a general rule, the sheets are vertically
long and short horizontally, with a length of at least 22 inches(56
centimeters) and a width which can vary. In a full broadsheet, a sheet of
paper is printed and folded to create four pages, a front and back and two
inner pages. A half broadsheet is a single piece of paper printed on both sides
with no fold. For convenience in distribution, broadsheets are often folded in
half lengthwise, but the fold does not impact the page count.

5. TABLOID
• A tabloid is both a paper size and a term for the style of the
newspapers that tend to use that format. Tabloid is the smaller
of the two standard newspaper sizes; the larger newspapers
are called broadsheets. The name seems to derive from a
pharmaceutical trademark meaning compressed tablet, and has
been applied to other small things. Tabloids tend to emphasize
sensational stories and are reportedly prone to create their
news if they feel that the subjects cannot, or will not, sue for
libel. In this respect, much of the content of the tabloid press
could be said to fall into the category of junk food news.
