Tabloid (newspaper Format)
A tabloid is a newspaper format characterized by its compact size, smaller than a broadsheet. The term originates from the 19th century, when the London-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. used the term to describe Tablet (pharmacy), compressed pills, later adopted by newspapers to denote condensed content. There are two main types of tabloid newspaper: red tops and Compact (newspaper), compact, distinguished by editorial style.
