What skills do journalists exhibit in sensationalising,
exaggerating and otherwise 'tabloiding' the truth, while usually
stopping short of stating unambiguous falsehoods? Why has the
tabloid news not collapsed as predicted, but thrived as a medium in
an age of interaction and online commentary? This book is a
comprehensive and accessible exploration of the British tabloid
newspapers from the 1960s to the present day. Examining topics such
as sex and the representation of women, national stereotypes and
Britain's relationship with Europe, war coverage, celebrities,
investigative journalism and instances where the tabloids have
misread the public mood, the author draws on Critical Discourse
Analysis and Stylistics to take a language-led approach to the UK
tabloids. With its interdisciplinary approach and readable prose
style, this book will be of interest to a wide range of readers
across language and linguistics, media and communication,
journalism, political science and British cultural studies.
