Broadsheet
Encyclopedia
Broadsheet is the largest of the various newspaper
formats and is characterized by long vertical pages (typically 22 inches (559 mm) or more). The term derives from types of popular prints usually just of a single sheet, sold on the streets and containing various types of material, from ballad
s to political satire. The first broadsheet newspaper was the Dutch
Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c.
published in 1618.
Other common newspaper formats include the smaller Berliner
and tabloid/compact
formats.
per spread (841 by).
In the United States, the traditional dimensions for the front page half of a broadsheet are 15 inches (381 mm) wide by 22+3/4 in long. However in efforts to save newsprint
costs many U.S. newspapers (including the overseas version of The Wall Street Journal
) are downsizing to 12 inches (305 mm) wide by 22+3/4 in long for a folded page.
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:
In uncommon instances, an entire newspaper can be a two-page half broadsheet or four-page full broadsheet. Totally self-contained advertising circulars inserted in a newspaper in the same format are referred to as broadsheets.
Broadsheets typically are also folded horizontally in half to accommodate newsstand display space. The horizontal fold however does not affect the page numbers and the content remains vertical. The most important newspaper stories are placed "above the (horizontal) fold." This contrasts with tabloids which typically do not have a horizontal fold (although tabloids usually have the four page to a sheet spread format).
Historically, broadsheets developed after the British
in 1712 placed a tax
on newspapers based on the number of their pages. Larger formats, however, had long been signs of status in printed objects, and still are in many places, and outside Britain the broadsheet developed for other reasons, including style and authority, unrelated to the British tax structure.
The broadsheet has since emerged as the most popular format for the dissemination of printed news. The world's most widely circulated English language
daily broadsheet is The Times of India
, a leading English language daily newspaper
from India
, followed closely by The New York Times
from the United States

, was for the purpose of posting royal proclamations, acts, and official notices. Eventually the people began using the broadsheet as a source for political activism by reprinting speeches, ballads or narrative songs originally performed by bards. With the early mechanization of the 19th century came an increase in production of printed materials including the broadside as well as the competing penny dreadful
. In this period newspapers all over Europe began to print their issues on broadsheets. However, in Great Britain
, the main competition for the broadside was the gradual reduction of the newspaper tax, beginning in the 1830s, and eventually its dismissal in 1855.
With the increased production of newspapers and literacy, the demand for visual reporting and journalists led to the blending of broadsides and newspapers, creating the modern broadsheet newspaper
.
With profit margins narrowing for newspapers in the wake of competition from broadcast, cable television, and the internet, newspapers are looking to standardize the size of the newsprint roll. The Wall Street Journal with its 15-inch wide frontpage was printed on 60-inch web newsprint. Early adopters in the downsizing of broadsheets initially used a 50-inch web (-inch front pages). However the 48-inch web is now rapidly becoming the definitive standard in the U.S. The New York Times
held out on the downsizing until July 2006, saying it would stick to its 54-inch web (-inch front page). However, the paper adopted the narrower format beginning Monday, August 6, 2007.
The smaller newspapers also have the advantage of being easier to handle, particularly among commuters.
and celebrity
material. This distinction is most obvious on the front page: whereas tabloids tend to have a single story dominated by a headline, broadsheets allow two or more stories to be displayed, the most important at the top of the page—"above the fold
". In other countries, such as Spain, a small format is the universal for newspapers—a popular, sensational press has had difficulty taking root—and the tabloid size has no such connotations.
On the other hand, a few newspapers, such as the German Bild-Zeitung
and others throughout central Europe are unashamedly tabloid in content, but use the physical broadsheet format.
, two major daily broadsheets are distributed nationwide, and two on Sundays:
As of April 2011, the average circulation of the Times was around 450,000, the Telegraph 640,000 copies daily, and the Financial Times around 372,000, while the circulations of the Guardian and Independent, both of them previously published in broadsheet format, were 264,000 and 181,000.

is also now published only in tabloid format. The Guardian
switched to the "Berliner
" or "midi" format found in some other Europe
an countries (slightly larger than a traditional tabloid) on 12 September 2005.
The main motivation cited for this shift is that commuters prefer papers which they can hold easily on public transport
, and it is presumably hoped that other readers will also find the smaller formats more convenient. It remains to be seen how this shake-up will affect the usage of the term "broadsheet". Notably, the Daily Telegraph increased its lead in circulation over The Times
when the latter switched to compact size — this is attributed to the backlash of traditional broadsheet readers.
and the St. Louis Post Dispatch are printed as compact
format newspapers, as well as a digested version of the Washington Post, the edition of July 31, 2006, becoming the first American newspaper to change to the Berliner format; however, the most recent change was in February 2009 when the Reading Eagle
converted to the Berliner format as well.

newspaper to leave the Broadsheet format and start printing in Tabloid was Svenska Dagbladet
, on November 16, 2000. As of August
, 2004, there were 26 Broadsheet newspapers in total, with a combined circulation of 1,577,700 and 50 newspapers in Tabloid with a combined circulation of 1,129,400. October 5, 2004, the morning newspapers Göteborgs-Posten
, Dagens Nyheter
, Sydsvenskan
and Östersunds-Posten all switched to Tabloid, thus making it the leading format for morning newspapers in Sweden by volume of circulation. Most other Broadsheet newspapers have followed since.
As of 2011, few daily newspapers in Sweden continue to be printed in Broadsheet. Värnamo Nyheter and Smålands-Tidningen, with average daily circulations of 18,700 and 15,700 respective (as of 2010, Tidningsstatistik AB) are two exceptions.

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:
- Full broadsheet – 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.
- Half broadsheet – The half broadsheet is usually an inside page that is not folded vertically and just includes a front and back.
In uncommon instances, an entire newspaper can be a two-page half broadsheet or four-page full broadsheet. Totally self-contained advertising circulars inserted in a newspaper in the same format are referred to as broadsheets.
Broadsheets typically are also folded horizontally in half to accommodate newsstand display space. The horizontal fold however does not affect the page numbers and the content remains vertical. The most important newspaper stories are placed "above the (horizontal) fold."

Printing considerations
Modern printing facilities most efficiently print broadsheet sections in multiples of eight pages (with four front pages and four back pages). The broadsheet is then cut in half during the process. Thus the newsprint rolls used are defined by the width necessary to print four front pages. The width of a newsprint roll is called its web. Thus the new 12-inch-wide front page broadsheet newspapers in the United States use a 48-inch web newsprint roll.With profit margins narrowing for newspapers in the wake of competition from broadcast, cable television, and the internet, newspapers are looking to standardize the size of the newsprint roll. The Wall Street Journal with its 15-inch wide frontpage was printed on 60-inch web newsprint. Early adopters in the downsizing of broadsheets initially used a 50-inch web (-inch front pages). However the 48-inch web is now rapidly becoming the definitive standard in the U.S. The New York Times

held out on the downsizing until July 2006, saying it would stick to its 54-inch web (-inch front page). However, the paper adopted the narrower format beginning Monday, August 6, 2007.
The smaller newspapers also have the advantage of being easier to handle, particularly among commuters.
