sensationalist journalism
"The tabloid published a shocking story about the celebrity's secret life to sell more newspapers."
A newspaper having pages half the dimensions of the standard format.
"The reporter struggled to fit all his photos into the tight space on the tabloid page, which was only half the width of a broadsheet."
In the format of a tabloid.
"The magazine's glossy photos and sensational headlines were clearly written in the format of a tabloid rather than a serious newspaper."
