RE: JOURNALISM, MEDIA, NEWS, REPORTING
A broadsheet is a type of newspaper traditionally printed on large-format pages and known for serious, in-depth journalism. Broadsheets typically focus on national and international news, politics, economics, and cultural analysis, rather than celebrity stories or sensational headlines.
Unlike tabloids, which tend to use more visual layouts and shorter articles, broadsheets are valued for their editorial depth and formal tone. Today, many broadsheets have adopted smaller formats, but the term still refers to their style of journalism.
Examples of broadsheet newspapers include The New York Times (US), The Guardian (UK), Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Germany), and Le Monde (France).
