Making sense of tabloid newspapers: some key considerations

Many journalists and media critics question whether tabloid
journalism is real journalism. While some propose that tabloids
do not contribute to social and political development, others argue
that they deal with social issues that impact on people’s daily
lives, and in so doing, contribute to a broader understanding of
what is regarded as “political.À One aspect of this is campaign
journalism, where the tabloid acts as a “helperÀ in the community.
The growing popularity of tabloids points to a need for research
to understand their role and function in society.
