Nicky: Hi, Kevin. Have you seen the newspaper?
Kevin: Which one, the broadsheet or the tabloid?
Nicky: Oh, I’m not sure how they are different. Can you tell me?
Kevin: Totally. A broadsheet is a type of newspaper that you read when you want to know about the latest news and current events. News articles in broadsheets are often long and focus on politics, business, and international news. They rarely use images to keep their contents simple and clear. A broadsheet is also bigger and has more pages.
Nicky: That’s interesting. How about tabloids?
Kevin: Unlike broadsheets, tabloids aim to entertain the readers rather than provide relevant information. Their articles are often short and focus on gossip, jokes, word games, comics, and other creative contents. They also add a lot of images and use strong colors to make their contents interesting.
Nicky: Oh, I see. Thank you. Now, I know exactly what I’m looking for. Kevin, have you seen the broadsheet?
