Newspaper format

The size of a newspaper format refers to the size of the paper page; the printed area within that can vary substantially depending on the newspaper.

[1] In some countries, particular formats have associations with particular types of newspaper; for example, in the United Kingdom, there is a distinction between "tabloid" and "broadsheet" as references to newspaper content quality, which originates with the more popular newspapers using the tabloid format; hence "tabloid journalism".

In a recent trend,[2] many newspapers have been undergoing what is known as "web cut down", in which the publication is redesigned to print using a narrower (and less expensive) roll of paper.

In extreme examples, some broadsheet papers are nearly as narrow as traditional tabloids.
