But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 221 years, The Times has changed its size to bee much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid (小報(bào)). In Britain the newspaper market is divided between t he larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers’ pages but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as The Times, the Guardian and Daily Telegraph are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language. Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities’ (名人) love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain’s bestselling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked girl on Page Three every day. By changing to the size of a tabloid, The Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent . It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers.
