Tabloids are newspapers and mass media which emphasize sensationalism to gain appeal based on emotion rather than reason. Rupert Murdoch is the owner of a media conglomerate which is based on tabloids.

Tabloids are thought not to have less objectivity due to a lack of journalistic standards, as if any mass media were worth believing.

A paper size - 11" x 17". Really just 2 regular "letter" sized pieces of paper put together. Many larger printers have the option to print tabloid sized paper for engineering drawings, etc.
