tabloids
 and 
broadsheets.
 Tabloids, also known as 
the popular press
, for example the 
Sun,
 
the 
Daily Mirror
, tend to be more sensationalist and light-hearted. Broadsheets, 
for example the 
Telegraph
, the 
Sunday Times
 are considered more serious and 
intellectual, and are also known as 
the quality press
. The distinction used to 
correspond to the actual sizes of the newspapers: broadsheets use much large paper, 
while tabloids are around half the size of broadsheets. Several quality newspapers 
in the UK have recently changed their paper size, for example 
The Times
 and the 
Guardian
, which has caused some confusion over whether to call them broadsheets 
or tabloids. This has led to the creation of a new term, 
compact
, which refers to their 
small size, and not the quality of their journalism.
