This edited collection brings together a range of contemporary expertise to discuss the development and impact of tabloid news around the world.
In thirteen chapters, Global Tabloid covers tabloid developments in Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia, and both Eastern and Western Europe. It presents innovative research from eighteen expert contributors and editors who explore tabloidization as a phenomenon, and tabloids as a news form. With an awareness of historical dynamics where tabloids played a role in national news media systems, it brings the debates around tabloids as a cultural force up to date. The book addresses important questions about the contemporary nature of popular culture, the challenges it faces in the digital era, and its impact on a political world dominated by tabloid values. Going beyond national borders to consider global developments, the editors and contributors explore how the tabloids have permeated media culture more generally and how they are adapting to an increasingly digitalized media sphere.
This internationally focused critical study is a valuable resource for students and researchers in journalism, media, and cultural studies.

With examples gathered from around the world, and perspectives ranging from the ethical to the political and technological, located within a variety of social settings and economic systems, this collection is set to become a standard reference point for students of this much-maligned yet perennially influential cultural form" - Herman Wasserman, University of Cape Town, Author of Tabloid Journalism in South Africa - True Story!
