Editing Tabloid (newspaper format) (section)

===Europe===
The [[Berliner (format)|Berliner]] format, used by many prominent [[Europe|European]] newspapers, is sized between the tabloid and the broadsheet. In a newspaper context, the term ''Berliner'' is generally used only to describe size, not to refer to other qualities of the publication. The biggest tabloid (and newspaper in general) in Europe, by circulation, is Germany's ''[[Bild]]'', with around 2.5 million copies (down from above 5 million in the 1980s). Although its paper size is bigger, its style was copied from the British tabloids.

In [[Denmark]], tabloids in the British sense are known as 'formiddagsblade' (before-noon newspapers), the two biggest being ''[[B.T. (tabloid)|BT]]'' and {{Lang|da|[[Ekstra Bladet]]}}. The old more serious newspaper ''[[Berlingske Tidende]]'' shifted from broadsheet to tabloid format in 2006, while keeping the news profile intact.

In [[Finland]], the biggest newspaper and biggest daily subscription newspaper in the Nordic countries {{Lang|fi|[[Helsingin Sanomat]]}} changed its size from broadsheet to tabloid on 8 January 2013.

In [[France]], the ''Nice Matin'' (or ''Le Dauphiné''), a popular Southern France newspaper changed from Broadsheet to Tabloid on 8 April 2006. They changed the printing format in one day after test results showed that 74% liked the Tabloid format compared to Broadsheet. But the most famous tabloid dealing with crime stories is ''[[Le Nouveau Détective]],'' created in the early 20th century. This weekly tabloid has a national circulation.

In the [[Netherlands]], several newspapers have started publishing tabloid versions of their newspapers, including one of the major 'quality' newspapers, [[NRC Handelsblad]], with ''[[nrc•next]]'' (ceased 2021) in 2006. Two free tabloid newspapers were also introduced in the early 2000s, '[[Metro International|Metro]] and [[Sp!ts]] (ceased 2014), mostly for distribution in public transportation. In 2007, a third and fourth free tabloid appeared, '[[De Pers]]' (ceased 2012) and '[[DAG (newspaper)|DAG]]' (ceased 2008). [[De Telegraaf]], came in broadsheet but changed to tabloid in 2014.<ref name="Telegraaf op Zondag terug (in Dutch)">{{cite web |url=http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/22229483/__Telegraaf_op_Zondag_terug__.html |title=Telegraaf op Zondag terug |year=2014 |access-date=22 January 2014}}</ref>

In [[Norway]], close to all newspapers have switched from the broadsheet to the tabloid format, which measures 280 x 400&nbsp;mm. The three biggest newspapers are ''[[Dagbladet]]'', ''[[Verdens Gang|VG]]'', and ''[[Aftenposten]]''.

In [[Poland]], the newspaper ''[[Fakt]]'', sometimes ''[[Super Express (newspaper)|Super Express]]'' is considered as tabloid.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VpPPptHEDEYC&q=Gazeta+Wyborcza+tabloid&pg=PA156 |title=Cathie Burton, Alun Drake, Hitting the headlines in Europe: a country-by-country guide to effective media relations|isbn=9780749442262 |access-date=3 December 2011|last1=Burton |first1=Cathie |last2=Drake |first2=Alun |year=2004 |publisher=Kogan Page Publishers }}</ref>

In the United Kingdom, three previously broadsheet daily newspapers—''[[The Times]]'', ''[[The Scotsman]]'' and ''[[The Guardian]]''—have switched to tabloid size in recent years, and two—''[[Daily Express]]'' and ''[[Daily Mail]]''—in former years, although ''The Times'' and ''The Scotsman'' call the format "[[compact (newspaper)|compact]]" to avoid the down-market connotation of the word ''tabloid''. Similarly, when referring to the down-market tabloid newspapers the alternative term "[[Red Tops|red-top]]" (referring to their traditionally red-coloured mastheads) is increasingly used, to distinguish them from the up- and middle-market compact newspapers. [[Morning Star (British newspaper)|The Morning Star]] also comes in tabloid format; however, it avoids celebrity stories, and instead favours issues relating to [[labour unions]].
