Iphepha lesikhumba lesisindo silinganiselwe ngamasentimitha angu-11 ngamasentimitha angu-17, ubukhulu kabili ngobukhulu bephepha leshidi. Amaphrinta amaningi ekhaya awakhulu ngokwanele ukuphrinta ephepheni lamasayizi we-tabloid, kodwa lawo angakhangiswa njengamathebhuthi noma amaphrinta amakhulu amathebhu. Amaphrinta amathebhulethi angayamukela iphepha ukuya kuma-intshi angu-11 ngamasentimitha angu-17. Amaphrinta ama-Super tile ayamukela iphepha kuze kube amasentimitha angu-13 ngamasentimitha angu-19.

Amaphephandaba Amathebhu
Emhlabeni wamaphephandaba, kunamabanga amabili ajwayelekile: ispredishithi kanye namathebhu. Ubukhulu obukhulu be-spreadsheet ye-newsprint esetshenziselwa amaphephandaba amaningi kuthatha cishe u-29.5 ngamasentimitha angu-23,5, ubukhulu obuhluka phakathi kwamazwe nezincwadi.
Uma iphrintiwe iphindwe ngesigamu, ubukhulu bekhasi langaphambili lephephandaba lithatha cishe ngamasentimitha angu-15 ububanzi ngamasentimitha angu-22 noma ngaphezulu ubude. Ukushicilelwa kwe-tabloid kuqala ngephepha elingaphansi kwesayizi sesipredishithi, eduze-kodwa hhayi ngempela encane njenge-usayizi wamaphepha wekhasi elingu-11-no-17 intshi elijwayelekile.
Ungase uhlangane nezincwadi ezifakiwe njengezingeniso ephephandabeni lakho eligcwele nsuku zonke. Amanye amaphephandaba asezingeni eliphezulu asetshenziselwe ukuphrinta kuphela njenge-tabloids emzamweni wokuphila esimweni esinzima sokuphrinta.
Ukuzihlukanisa nobudlelwane obubi be-tabloids embonini yephephandabeni-yezindaba ezithinta izinzwa, izindaba ezilubuhle mayelana namasiko nezigebengu-ezinye izincwadi ezincane ezenziwe phansi ezihlanganisa amaphephandaba amaphephandaba asetshenzisiwe zisebenzisa igama elithi "compact."
Lezo zamaphephandaba ezijwayele ukuhleba-lezo ozibona emgqeni esitolo-zilokhu ziyi-tabloids. Baqala ukuphila okwenza lokho okwaziwa ngokuthi yi-journalism yamathebhu. Kwaphela iminyaka, ama-tabloids ayebhekwa njengamaphephandaba asebenzayo kanye namaphephandaba asezingeni eliphezulu labafundi abafundisiwe. Lowo mbono ushintshile.
Nakuba ezinye izincwadi ezisemthethweni zilokhu zigxila ezincwadini ezithakazelisayo, izincwadi eziningi ezihlonishwayo, kuhlanganise namaphephandaba anikeze umklomelo, ziyizincwadi ezinamagama amakhulu.

Ngokushesha leli gama lalingana nezindaba zezingxabano, ubugebengu obubucayi kanye nezindaba ezidumile. Leli gama elibi liphikisana nabamemezeli bephephandaba nabamaphephandaba, futhi iminyaka emine beyizintombi ezisezingeni eliphansi lochwepheshe bezindaba.
Ngombono oguqukayo wezezimali wamaphephandaba aphrintiwe eminyakeni yobudala, amaphephandaba athile ahloniphekile agijimela ekunciphiseni kuya kufomathi yombhalo ngomzamo wokulondoloza imali futhi aqhubeke nokushicilelwa. Naphezu kwalokhu, cishe wonke amaphephandaba amakhulu ase-US namanje amaspredishithi. Ezinye zazo zithathe ukukhetha okuncane kakhulu kokusebenzisa usayizi wesipredishithi esincane.
