List Of Newspapers In Scotland





NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS

Traditionally newspapers could be split into 'quality', serious-minded newspapers (usually referred to as 'Broadsheets' due to their large size) and 'tabloid', less serious newspapers. However, due to considerations of convenience of reading, particularly in cafés and on trains etc., '' The Scotsman '' has switched to a 'compact'-sized format, traditionally used by tabloids.

Sunday serious-minded newspapers have tended to keep the broadsheet format due to considerations of size, as to maintain the same level of content in a tabloid paper would result in a single section many would find too thick, heavy and cumbersome. Conveniently fewer people read their Sunday newspaper on a crowded train.
