The broadsheet newspaper size is the
largest of the various newspaper formats and is characterized by long vertical
pages. The term derives from types of popular prints – usually just of a single
sheet – sold on the streets and containing various types of matter, from
ballads to political satire. The first broadsheet newspaper was the Dutch
Courante, published in 1618. Newspapers currently using the broadsheet format
include; The Daily Telegraph in the UK, The National Post in Canada, Die Zeit
in Germany, The Times of India, The Japan Times and USA Today. The Berliner
format is used by many European newspapers, including; The Guardian in the UK,
Expresso in Portugal, The University Observer in Ireland, Le Monde in France
and La Repubblica in Italy. As the term “tabloid” has become synonymous with
down-market newspapers in some areas, some small-format papers which claim a
higher standard of journalism refer to themselves as “compact” newspapers
instead, however both are generally the same size. Some newspapers that use
this format include; The Sun and The Times in the UK, NRC Handelsblad in the
Netherlands, Berlingske Tidende in Denmark and the Daily Telegraph in
Australia.
