Tabloid and broadsheet newspapers used to be easy to distinguish. Tabloids were long and thin with lots of pictures. Broadsheets were fat and short and had more dense writing. More recently, many of the broadsheets have taken the tabloid formatting style and all broadsheets have included more photographs, colour being now the most obvious choice too.
Tabloids were best known for a lower type of journalism that dealt with sleaze, corruption, sex scandals and other things that their traditionally working and new middle class readership apparently enjoyed.
The broadsheets tended to have better written articles, with much less scandal and gossip, much less sensational headlines and people depended upon them for getting their quota of what could now be called 'serious news'.
These days, the lines between the types of newspaper have blurred. The Mirror for instance in the UK had move back and forth between serious journalism and comic type nonsense for years. However, one of the best moves the Mirror took was removing the semi-naked women from its pages, something other tabloids have yet to manage.

Broadsheets: • There is a small picture giving an overall feeling to the story. • A more global story. Information from everywhere in the world. • A lot more formal words and very little puns / word play. Much less sensational headlines. • They are normally twice the size of a tabloid Tabloids:
• There is a bigger picture very specific to the subject. • Local stories, mainly just in the UK. • Lots of word play / puns and very informal. Also, a lot of sensations words and headings. • Compared to Broadsheet newspapers, tabloid newspapers are very small, about half the size!
Broadsheet is the largest of the various newspaper formats and is characterized by long vertical pages (typically 22 inches or more). In some countries, especially the UK and USA, broadsheet newspapers are commonly perceived to be more intellectual in content than their tabloid counterparts, using their greater size to examine stories in more depth, while carrying less sensationalist and celebrity material. This distinction is most obvious on the front page: Whereas tabloids tend to have a single story dominated by a headline, broadsheets allow two or more stories to be displayed, the most important at the top of the page - "above the fold." In other countries, such as Spain, a small format is the universal for newspapers - a popular, sensational press has had difficulty taking root - and the tabloid size has no such connotations.
Thus, the distinction regarding specific content is at best a generalization, and the term "tabloid" technically refers only to the paper's size. Serious newspapers in tabloid format, "El País" in Spain and others in Italy, do not make the distinction. Some tabloid-format papers (such as the Daily Mail and Daily Express in the UK) use phrases such as "broadsheet quality in a tabloid format" in an attempt to distinguish themselves from their "tabloid" reputation. In addition, broadsheets often publish supplements, such as sports reviews and less news-oriented content (e.g. The Guardian's "G2" (formerly) or the Times's "Times 2"), in tabloid format.
On the other hand, a few newspapers, throughout central Europe are unashamedly tabloid in content, but still use the physical broadsheet format.
A tabloid newspaper is a form of paper that has lots of pictures and not much writing. They don't get taken seriously and it is based on a real story but they have some wacky ideas and not many people belive it
Broadsheets have more information than tabloids; Normally a broadsheet will also tell people the weather of the day on the front page quite more detailed than a tabloid which is only a guide to tell people where to find the weather informations.
A tabloid is a small version of a newspaper. A tabloid is a smaller-than-normal-size newspaper. A tabloid has half-size pages which also helps it to be different to a broadsheet. Traditionally, certain tabloids are noticed by their look of approach and content rather than by a straight forward reportage of newsworthy events... A broadsheet is large version of a newspaper. A broadsheet is larger then any normal newspaper. Large-format newspaper such as a broadsheet have pages which are twice the size of a tabloid. So the difference between the tabloid and the broadsheet is that one is larger then the average newspaper(broadsheet) and one is smaller(tabloid).
Broadsheet- intellectual in content and examines stories in much depth. It is characterised in long vertical pages and more expensive due to the amount of content included

Tabloids are form of newspapers which carry scandalous stories, indecent news items, celebrity gossip columns, alien conspiracies and other sensationalist stories which earn profits through appealing to more shallow concerns of the people. Tabloids are not taken seriously by serious journalists and are considered a blemish on the journalistic profession and are used to make a quick and fast buck. Some call it "junk food news". They are often in a format which is smaller than regular newspapers and promote incendiary materials which are sensational and use their "shock and awe" value in order to attract readers.
