Funded Activity Summary

Disposing of the Tabloid? A Critical Analysis of Contemporary Developments in the Print Media. By critically analysing the concept of newspaper tabloidisation, this Project aims to: test its empirical validity and theoretical integrity; compare and contrast changes in both broadsheet and tabloid newspapers; and understand the management of the tabloid stigma by media institutions and professionals. This task is especially significant because 'tabloid' is the most used but least precise typification of current media. Outcomes include: clarification of the existence and extent of tabloidisation; greater understanding of the forces influencing the production and consumption of contemporary media; stimulation of informed public debate; and international publications and conceptual advances in sociology, media and cultural studies.
