British Newspapers

In Britain there are 11 national daily newspapers and most people read them every day. There are two kinds of newspapers. One is large in size and has many detailed articles about national and international events. These newspapers are called the serious papers or the quality papers. The other kind，called the tabloids(通俗小报)，are smaller in size，have more pictures，often in colour，and shorter articles，often about less important events or about the private lives of well- known people. Although some

people don’t support tabloids，more people buy them than the people buy the serious newspapers. The Sun，for example，which is a tabloid，is the biggest selling newspaper in Britain. The tabloids are sometimes called the gutter(低级趣味) press. And in 1997，some photograph reporters of the tabloids were said to be involved in(卷入) the tragic(悲剧的) death of Princess Diana in France and they were criticized as gossip reporter by the public.

Most national newspapers in Britain express a political opinion and people choose the newspaper that they read according to their own political beliefs. Most of the newspapers are rightwing which means they support the Conservative Party(保守党)．These are the Daily Telegraph (serious newspaper)，the Daily Express，Daily Mail，Daily Star，the Sun and Today (all tabloids)．Of the other serious newspapers，The Times，the oldest newspaper in Britain，did not formerly have one strong political view but it is now more rightwing. The Independent does not support any one political party，
