A middle-market newspaper caters to a readership base inclined to be informed on entertainment trends as well as coverage of major news events.
Such newspapers are the middle segment of a continuum of journalistic seriousness: upper-market or "quality" newspapers generally cover hard news, and down-market newspapers favour sensationalist stories.
The United Kingdom's two national middle-market papers are the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, distinguishable by their black-top masthead (both use the tabloid paper size), as opposed to the red-top mastheads of down-market tabloids.
USA Today and the Times of India are other typical middle-market broadsheet newspapers, headquartered in the United States and India, respectively.
A daily supplement devoted to coverage of Page 3 events is a salient feature of such newspapers in India.
