Mainstream newspaper:

is a type of newspaper, is larger than

tabloids, The mainstream has majority of its readers to be educated people

and people in authority unlike the tabloid whose readers are made up of
mainly ordinary and less educated people. The news stories in a mainstream
are concise and straight to the point. The language is more formal than that
of a tabloid.

Tabloids: A tabloid is a newspaper, in small format, which gives the news in

condensed form with the use of illustrations and sensational exaggerated material.
Scandals are focused on rich and famous peoples lives. Its key source of gossip.

Based on rumors.

What evident has to support his argument?

In the tabloid try or want exaggeration the information they have in their
possession in order to draw the attention of readers and higher sales. On the
other hand, in the mainstream newspaper focus more real information,

without exaggeration in order to its readers, news aren`t altered to contend.

A example about the tabloid in Ecuador in the extra, in this tabloid, the
picture in they are bloody, and in the contend is bit exaggerated, and the
mainstream newspaper, the information is real. In my opinion, the most
people preferred the tabloid because don`t have more contend.

Personal opinion about the mainstream and tabloid

Ok, the mainstream newspaper is presented in a formal way and with
important information, I mean, about jobs proposes, politics and all those
important things that happens in each country. What about tabloids? well the
tabloids are presented in an informal way and with many police blotter, I
mean, about so many deaths, or in others words so many "Disease". What
about the bias? Ok, are so many bias, many of these are presented in the
tabloids mainly, cause the disease is something which leads sometimes to
barf and well in the newspaper the problem is the cruel information, I mean it

s sincere information and sometimes that information doesnt like the

people.
