[00:07.04]British Newspapers
[00:15.63]In Britain, the national newspapers
[00:10.99]are very important.
[00:12.62]There are some very good local newspapers
[00:14.64]but most people read one
[00:15.94]of the main national newspapers.
[00:18.77]The most popular newspapers
[00:20.20]are the "tabloids".
[00:21.54]They usually have lots of big pictures
[00:23.58]and the articles are not very long.
[00:26.02]Tabloid papers do not have
[00:27.67]many serious articles,
[00:29.38]but they contain lots of stories
[00:31.02]about sex scandals,
[00:32.69]famous people and the royal family.
[00:34.71]They also have big sports sections
[00:36.87]and a lot of information about TV programmes.
[00:39.97]The two best-selling tabloid newspapers
[00:42.76]are The Sun and The Mirror.
[00:44.84]They sell around four or five million
[00:46.78]copies a day.
[00:47.98]Another tabloid is The Daily Mail,
[00:50.33]which is more serious
[00:53.26]than the other two tabloids.
[00:53.22]There are four main "quality" papers.
[00:55.63]They are much cigger and wider
[00:57.38]than the tabloids and they also have longer
[00:59.64]and more serious news articles
[01:01.50]with fewer pictures.
[01:03.07]Quality newspapers have fewer readers.
