'Tabloid-style newspaper'

[edit]

This phrase, currently in the lead sentence, makes it sound as though the newspaper is a scandal sheet, i.e., employs "tabloid" newsgathering and writing tactics. What is plain from the article (really, from the front-page image supplied) is that the Journal Inquirer is a tabloid-format paper; but to call it "tabloid-style", there really ought to be some discussion in the text as to how we arrive at that conclusion. ``` W i k i W i s t a h ``` 04:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I simply changed the word "-style" to "-sized". This involved reverting a well-intentioned anon edit that had nixed the word 'tabloid' altogether. The wikilink to which "tabloid" points is, as it should be, a page about the tabloid format. N.B. that the "format" parameter in Infobox Newspaper is meant to refer to the page format (tabloid, broadsheet, etc.). ``` W i k i W i s t a h ``` 05:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
