Subject: News Posted Apr 22, 2005 by King Bomba This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 Some of the former broadsheets are now tabloid in shape and size - The Times, and Independent spring to mind. As for brevity - the problem is an 'intelligent' look at an issue will need to be more in depth and give more background than a knee-jerk rant. Tabloids often excel in taking an issue at first glance and 'telling it how it is' in the eyes of the fabled 'man in the street'. This can be done in a much shorter space than reporting on the background and approaching a story from different angles.
