Editing Broadsheet (section)

==Description==
Many broadsheets measure roughly {{convert|28|by|22+3/4|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} per full broadsheet spread, twice the size of a standard tabloid. [[Australians|Australian]] and [[New Zealand]] broadsheets always have a paper size of [[ISO 216|A1]] per spread ({{convert|841|by|594|mm|in|abbr=on|disp=or}}). [[South Africa|South African]] broadsheet newspapers have a double-page spread sheet size of {{convert|820|by|578|mm|in|abbr=on}} (single-page live print area of 380 x 545&nbsp;mm). Others measure 22 in (560 mm) vertically.

In the [[United States]], the traditional dimensions for the front page half of a broadsheet are {{convert|12|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} wide by {{convert|22.75|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} long.

Many rate cards and specification cards refer to the "broadsheet size" with dimensions representing the front page "half of a broadsheet" size, rather than the full, unfolded broadsheet spread. Some quote actual page size and others quote the "printed area" size.

The two versions of the broadsheet are:
*The full broadsheet typically is folded vertically in half so that it forms four pages (the front page front and back and the back page front and back). The four pages are called a spread. Inside broadsheets are nested accordingly.
*The half broadsheet is usually an inside page that is not folded vertically and just includes a front and back.
