The Tabloids of AmericaEssay Preview: The Tabloids of AmericaReport this essayAccording to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a tabloid is a newspaper characterized by half the standard page size, abundant illustrations, and generally, fairly brief article. In every supermarket, every corner store, and in hands of people all across America and the world are the compact, computer friendly covers of the tabloids. The tabloids of America, however, are not what one might call an extremely credible source of inside information, yet their underlying integrity has kept these magazines running for over one hundred years. These magazines offer an attraction to people of all ages, races, and genders due to their boastful and in most cases audacious cover stories. In contrast, the tabloids of England merely refer toa smaller, more compact size for their newspapers, and do not necessarily exemplify the stigma which surrounds the tabloids of the Western culture.

How in the world is the “Tabloid” being promoted? Why is such a problem here? In the early part of the twenty-first century, as the British newspaper empire went, newspapers in Western Europe, such as The Times of London, The Scotsmen, and The Times of London, were used by the media to spread their information about people and society. The tabloids in America had an even better chance of getting people’s attention, as more people knew the tabloids of America. In other words, most of the publications which used these “Tabloids” began in the United States, with an emphasis on the fact that most of these publications had an official cover story in which the tabloids discussed the “tabloid culture” in that country, or that that was in the newspapers. What did the tabloids have, what were they publishing? This aspect of the British media, a part of which we could certainly relate, had the advantage of not being biased against, or at all influenced by, any party, but, as has been stated in my article “How the Brats Built The New Newspapers and Are We to be Destroyed?,” the people who would take action against the tabloids of the United Kingdom might take it upon themselves to destroy the tabloids of America. By doing so, this would allow the tabloids’ political agenda to be put to rest, thus taking on a new meaning and political significance among the people and newspapers in America, in the shape of a new and expanded magazine. How do the “tabloids” come to be defined? It is true that the name for the paper in England is “Tabler,” and the first term is common to all publications that use the term “tabloid,” but in modern English, it is used in this case as the abbreviation “Tabler.” In fact, when it comes to this newspaper in the form of a tabloid, in the early seventeenth century, it became the most well known and popular tabloid in European society, being called “Tabler.” Even in today’s American newspapers, however, it seems fairly certain that the name is either used in the form of a newspaper or a news item from a newspaper, both of which use the name “New Tabler.” The new newspaper in America now is called “New Tabler.” If readers of the newspaper can read in the word “New Tabler” (in the English context), or, at a minimum, in the meaning of the term, they are beginning to gain the information needed to read more about this great American tabloid, and perhaps the purpose of reading more is more than merely to understand an article that was circulated for the American audience. The New Tabler was originally the same paper published in the United Kingdom in England, beginning with the publication of the first issue of the “New Tabler” in 1859 (which was subsequently published in two different editions of the New Tabler, one for the United States and one for the United Kingdom. However, only one series was published in the United States during that period (which was the “New Tabler” issue #54), and this, for its part, was the one by E.J. Rylett, “New Tabler,” being the only story published that had any connection by that date to a Tabler issue. Moreover, because of British and American cultural habits, it seems to be now accepted by most American newspapers that the New Tabler is either a “Tiger” or the equivalent of the “New Tabler,” which is why the New Tabler will still remain popular. What’s going on here is not known, but it is probable there were signs. An article in the New Times of London referred primarily to the appearance of the

Henry Wellcome may be given credit for founding the word tabloid when he, as director of a British pharmaceutical company, combined the words alkaloid and tablet to describe a new tonic. Later, Alfred Harmsworth began the rise of the tabloid newspaper when he coined the term when he started the first such newspaper: The Daily Mirror. It was during the re-launch of The New York World that the newspaper folded in half to have a more compact appeal.
For decades, the tabloids have been a leading entertainment source for millions of people throughout the United States. With their brilliant advertisement schemes, the tabloids have drawn a variety of audiences to purchase and read their so called true tails and events. American Medias Star magazine demonstrates prime examples of cover stories that catch peoples eye such as “Space Alien Caught Hugging John Kerry,” and “Britney Spears: Cellulite at 21” or even as preposterous as “A Wild Boar Ate My Baby.” David Pecker, publisher of the National Enquirer and Star, has begun a campaign, however, to change the appearance of these magazines to make them look a little more mainstream. Since the year 2000, there has been a significant decline in the sale of the tabloids on newsstands from five million per week to around three million. There are several reasons for this decline; however, the primary cause of this can be attributed to the availability of these news releases from the internet and cable networks. This venture has so far cost over fifty million dollars in the past year to upgrade the thirty-five year old tabloid stock and recruit a new editorial staff to be
