I would like to propose splitting this article into two. One for the physical format and another for the style of journalism. Perhaps the format article could be about the various formats/paper sizes as a group rather than only about the tabloid size. Disambiguate if neccessary. Roger ( talk) 07:21, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
I'd suggest not - the connotations of 'tabloid' have had to shift since more 'quality press' have re-sized, so 'redtop' is a useful separator/distinguisher and belongs no more under 'tabloid' than it does 'newspapers' in general.

Tabloid journalism is essentially a definition and description of a form of journalism connected with Tabloid newspapers. In talking about one, you have to talk about the other. There may come a time when the two articles can be split, but not at the moment. Tabloid journalism is unsourced and relies on assertion and original research, and has to refer back to the Tabloid article. The bulk of the material currently in Tabloid journalism belongs in Tabloid, such as the Supermarket tabloid section, the Red top section, and the brief History section. The rest is a description of the sort of journalism found in tabloids, and such a description is useful in Tabloid. SilkTork * Tea time 23:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Is that so? What a strange fact to be proud of! Or is it that the two alliterating words 'boast' and 'bigoted' do not really go well together? -- Marschner ( talk) 12:57, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
The bottom shelf of the image at the beginning of the article shows Berliner sized newspapers like the guardian, i think the image should be cropped.-- In Allah We Trust ( talk) 17:39, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
"In the United States, daily tabloids date back to the founding of the New York Daily News in 1919, followed by the New York Daily Mirror and the New York Evening Graphic in the 1920s."
Both the Boston Daily Advertiser (1921) and the Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles, 1923) were in tabloid format before the New York Daily Mirror (1924) or the New York Evening Graphic (1924) were published. Pikabruce ( talk) 21:56, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

In line 3 (including the header) it says: "This article is about the printing format. For the style of journalist, see Tabloid journalism." Shouldn't it rather be "style of journalism"? Steue ( talk) 23:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Is there any reason to retain the material about what gets printed on tabloid format paper? It means most of this article as it stands will be deleted. But to let it stand is a serious WP:FORK violation.
Unless someone can present a convincing case within the next week or so for having two articles saying essentially the same thing, I will prune very heavily. -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 23:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
