Desde o início do século XX que os tabloides ganharam expressão no panorama mundial da imprensa. Hoje, num mundo em constante mudança, os "media", nomeadamente a imprensa escrita, tem de enfrentar novos desafios e cativar as suas audiências. Os jornais tabloides são jornais populares. Chegam facilmente a um maior número de pessoas, com discursos simples e muitas vezes vagos, que permitem a cada um tecer as suas próprias conclusões sobre cada tema, mas também com temas leves, simples, e muitas vezes triviais, o que poderá resultar num afastamento quanto à imprensa de referência, carregada de destaques sobre política e economia. Apesar da crise pandémica e dos cada vez menores hábitos de leitura de jornais impressos dos portugueses, este estudo concluiu, através de uma análise multidimensional das capas de três jornais portugueses, que não é possível identificar uma verdadeira "tabloidização" dos jornais de referência, mas apenas indicar a tendência de que todas as publicações contam já com elementos que apontam nesse sentido. Since the early 20th century the tabloids have earned expression in the worldwide press. Nowadays, in an everchanging world, the media, and in particular the written press has to face new chalenges in an effort to cativate the audiences. The tabloids are popular newspapers. They reach a large number of people easily, with soft news, simple, and usually trivial headlines, what distance them from the journals of record filled with hard news about politics and economics. Despite the pandemic crisis and the diminished newspappers reading habits of the Portuguese people, this study, through a multidimensional analysis of the covers of three daily newspapers, concludes that it isn’t possible to identify a tabloidization of the journals of record, instead we can just point the tendency that every newspapers analysed has now some elements of the tabloids.

Građanska inicijativa Hod za život koja se bori protiv pobačaja održava se svake godine u svibnju pod geslom za nerođeni život protiv diskriminacije te redovito izaziva veliko zanimanje javnosti i medija. U ovom radu se analizirao period izvještavanja od 1. siječnja 2018. godine do 31. prosinca 2019. godine kako bi se utvrdilo kako se izvještavalo o inicijativi na portalima. Unatoč tabloidnom i polutabloidnom karakteru portala Index.hr, 24sata.hr, Jutarnji.hr i Večernji.hr, analizom rezultata je utvrđeno kako portali ipak nisu senzacionalistički izvještavali u većini slučajeva. No, portali nisu uravnoteženo prikazali inicijativu jer u većini članaka nisu bile prikazane obje strane i stajališta inicijative. Senzacionalistički naslovi su bili u manjem postotku prisutni, dok je clickbait bio prisutan samo na Index.hr-u. Hipoteza prema kojoj se dominantna fotografija na portalima češće fokusira na prikaz sudionika povorke Hoda za život nego na prikaz aktivista prava žena na izbor je potvrđena. Hipoteza koja tvrdi da se na portalu Index.hr više izvještavalo o inicijativi nego na drugim portalima te da su članci u prosjeku duži u odnosu na članke ostalih portala je djelomično potvrđena. Također je potvrđena hipoteza da je portal Index.hr više kritički intonirano izvještavao nego drugi portali. Navedeni je portal, u odnosu na ostale portale, najviše izvještavao o inicijativi. Istraživanje je potvrdilo i hipotezu prema kojoj naslovi pretežito odgovaraju sadržaju tekstova. Prikaz sudionika Hoda za života je u većini članaka bio neutralan. Protivnici su u većem postotku bili prikazani pozitivno nego sudionici Hoda za život. Hod za život, U ime obitelji, senzacionalizam, tabloidizacija, analiza sadržaja, portali, Citizen anti-abortion initiative The Walk for life which takes place in May every year under the motto For the protection of every human life - without discrimination attracts huge media and public attention. This thesis has analyzed the time period of media reporting between January 1st, 2018 to December 31st, 2019 in order to determine how did media cover the initiative. Despite the sensationalistic nature of tabloid news, in the majority of cases, the media did not portray initiative in a negative sensationalized way. Media coverage of the initiative was not balanced because in the majority of articles as views of both parties were not presented. Sensationalistic headlines were minority while clickbait headlines occurred only in one media- Index.hr. Also, no conflict between headlines and content is perceived. The main photography in the articles mainly depicted anti-abortion activists rather than reproductive women rights activists. Index.hr has covered the initiative much more compared to other online media and they also opposed the initiative while at the same time they showed great support for women rights activists. The media potrayal of anti-abortion activists was neutral in the majority of articles while reproductive rights activists were potrayed much more positively compared to their opponents.

Introdução: O fenómeno da tabloidização dos media, assente no predomínio de conteúdos leves, domínio do visual e hiperconcorrência tem uma expressão mais acentuada face às pressões comerciais que cercam o setor dos meios de comunicação social. Objetivos: Avaliar as capas dos quatro jornais diários generalistas portugueses durante um ano, de modo a compreender se as caraterísticas formais da tabloidização têm expressão nestes periódicos. Métodos: Através de uma análise direta de 54 capas de cada diário, e com base no esquema proposto por Colin Sparks (2000), quantificámos o número de destaques e de imagens nas primeiras páginas e categorizámos esses destaques face ao enfoque (público ou privado) e face à temática (leves ou sérias). Resultados: Concluímos que o Correio da Manhã e o Jornal de Notícias são os títulos de imprensa onde as caraterísticas do fenómeno da tabloidização são mais visíveis. Em sentido contrário, o Jornal i e o Público são os diários que apresentam menos indícios de tabloidização. Conclusões: A tabloidização está presente de forma mais visível nos dois jornais diários generalistas que são líderes de mercado, o que vai ao encontro da corrente que defende que o tratamento jornalístico de temáticas mais leves pode ser uma forma de contornar a crise dos media. Introduction: The phenomenon of media tabloidization, based on the predominance of light news, increase of the visual and hyper-concurrence, is more pronounced in face of the economic pressures surrounding the media sector. Objetives: To evaluate the front pages of the four Portuguese generalist daily newspapers during a year, in order to understand whether the formal characteristics of tabloidization have any expression in these periodicals. Methods: Through a direct analysis of 54 covers of each diary, and based on the scheme proposed by Colin Sparks (2000), we quantified the number of news and imagens on the front pages and categorized them in terms of the focus (public or private) and the theme (light or hard). Results: We concluded that Correio da Manhã and Jornal de Notícias are the press titles in which the singularities of the tabloidization phenomenon are most visible. On the contrary, Jornal i and Público are the newspapers with the least signs of tabloidization. Conclusions: Tabloidization is more visible in the two generalist daily newspapers that are market leaders, which confirms the idea that argues that the journalistic treatment of lighter themes may be a way to overcome the economic media crisis.

Una de las razones fundamentales para el abordaje de la temática en el presente trabajo de investigación es la polución de programas «telebasura» en las programaciones de los medios de comunicación televisivos de Bolivia y la confluencia inevitable de la audiencia, en especial en edad adolescente, que al parecer se recrea. Sin embargo ¿estará consiente de las implicaciones en su entorno de vida?, ¿impactará en su nivel educativo y rendimiento académico?, ¿incidirá en el aspecto emocional? y/o ¿modificará su comportamiento por la sobreexposición ante los programas telebasura? Ante este panorama de incertidumbre, se plantea el análisis del impacto que provocan los programas nacionales bolivianos de telebasura en la audiencia nacional respecto de los fundamentos de los indicadores y dimensiones de la competencia mediática. En ese sentido, situados en Bolivia, se incursiona en este panorama nada alentador de la televisión nacional, que implica también a la región sur-andina, con una investigación según el entorno sociocultural boliviano. Se trazaron aspectos relativos a los estudios de recepción y la alfabetización mediática. En esta línea se realiza una revisión de las referencias teóricas y científicas de distintos autores sobre la educomunicación mediática, telebasura, audiencias, entre otros, fijando así una base epistemológica de análisis, así como el estado de la cuestión y antecedentes del estudio. Sobre esa base teórica se consignará el análisis empírico, cuyo recorrido metodológico es solventado por el análisis de diseño cuantitativo y cualitativo. Para una mayor validez de la investigación, se precisó del entrecruce de métodos, y se procedió a la triangulación de datos y resultados cuanti-cualitativos, en aras de una mayor validez interna y externa del estudio. De este procedimiento, se confirma la existencia de la tabloidización televisiva boliviana, porque esos contenidos de los noticieros y otros programas de información son manipulados por intereses comerciales y, de manera contundente, por intereses políticos. Resalta en este sentido la manipulación política del medio televisivo estatal Bolivia TV. Asimismo, existen «noticieros infoentretenidos y sensacionalistas» que contienen alarma, fuentes dudosas, noticias falsas (fake news), relatos en burla, e inducción premeditada. Por otra parte, la telebasura resulta perjudicial, provoca e induce a la discriminación y el odio racial, y por supuesto afecta en el desarrollo educativo integral. La desinformación sobre sucesos provoca inseguridad personal y atenta contra la integridad de las mujeres. Transmite rupturas: en la intimidad de las personas, en la equidad de género y en la convivencia pacífica socialfamiliar. Asimismo, provoca la modificación del pensamiento por el consumo constante de contenidos simples y vacíos que idiotizan, perjudican la autoestima, inciden en el comportamiento, la imitación de personajes, e incluso el cambio de personalidad. Frente a este panorama, los adolescentes reconocen la necesidad de criticidad, desarrollo de habilidades en producción audiovisual digital, gestión de emociones, selectividad de contenidos, y acción de interpelación. Por lo mismo, urge la alfabetización mediática y la formación en competencias mediáticas. Se recomienda así la inclusión de la Competencia Mediática en el currículo formal educativo boliviano, no solamente para enfrentar a los contenidos de la telebasura que se difunde en múltiples pantallas, también, para otros medios tradicionales y los multimedios virtuales-digitales de comunicación., One of the fundamental reasons for addressing the issue in this research project is the pollution of "trash television" programs in Bolivian television media programming and the inevitable confluence of the audience, especially in the adolescent age group, which seems to be recreated. However, will they be aware of the implications on their living environment, impact on their educational level and academic performance, affect the emotional aspect, and/or modify their behavior due to overexposure to the trash TV programs? In view of this panorama of uncertainty, an analysis of the impact of Bolivian national television programs on the national audience is proposed with regard to the fundamentals of the indicators and dimensions of media competition. In this sense, located in Bolivia, we enter into this not very encouraging panorama of the national television, which also involves the South Andean region, with an investigation according to the Bolivian socio-cultural environment. Aspects relating to reception studies and media literacy were mapped out. In this line, a review of the theoretical and scientific contributions of different authors on media education, tele-broadcasting, audiences, among others, was carried out, thus establishing an epistemological basis for analysis, as well as the state of the art and background of the study. On this theoretical basis, the empirical analysis will be recorded, whose methodological path is solved by the quantitative and qualitative design analysis. For a greater validity of the research, it was necessary to interweave methods, and data and quantitative-qualitative results were triangulated, in order to achieve a greater internal and external validity of the study. This procedure confirms the existence of Bolivian television tabloidization, because the contents of news and other information programs are manipulated by commercial interests and, in a strong way, by political concerns. In this sense, the political manipulation of the state-owned television station Bolivia TV stands out. Likewise, there are infotainment and sensationalist news programs that contain alarm, dubious sources, false news, mockery and premeditated induction. On the other hand, tele-trash is harmful, provokes and induces discrimination and racial hatred, and of course affects comprehensive educational development. Disinformation about events causes personal insecurity and attempts against women's integrity. It transmits ruptures: in people's intimacy, in gender equity and in peaceful social-family coexistence. Likewise, it causes the modification of thought due to the constant consumption of simple and empty contents that idiotize, damage self-esteem, affect behavior, imitate characters, and even change personality. Faced with this scenario, adolescents recognize the need for criticality, development of skills in digital audiovisual production, emotion management, content selectivity, and interpellation action. For this reason, media literacy and training in media skills are urgently needed. It is thus recommended that Media Literacy be included in the formal Bolivian educational curriculum, not only to deal with the contents of tele basic broadcast on multiple screens, but also for other traditional media and virtual-digital multimedia communication.

Czech football players František Rajtoral, David Bystroň, Pavel Pergl and hockey player Adam Svoboda have all lost their lives in time period between years 2017 a 2019. All of the mentioned deaths were caused by suicide. Death and suicide discourses are both very sensitive topics in media, although they are quite common. There are not even much handbooks or manuals how to cover these incidents properly. Ethical and moral codex plays a much bigger role here because of sensitive perception of death and suicide in society. Media still try to be more popular than their rivals, thus they turn to tabloidization even in reports about deaths of athletes. These incidents meet usual news values as negativity, surprise and relationship to elite people, so they are usually very popular. Responsible journalism and cautiousness are necessary in these cases, otherwise there is a risk of misinterpretation of reality between media consumers and also have negative impact on people suffering from suicidal tendencies. Research of this essay focuses on analyzing the articles about mentioned sportsmen, which should reveal problematic aspects of professional news reporting about these kinds of events.

The diploma thesis is focused on content trends in the Czech national daily press examined on an example of evolution of media framing of the elderly. It is based on a premise of mass media having a role in the social construction of reality by presenting certain agenda and frames. The aim of the thesis is then to study stereotypization and tabloidization in the evolution of elderly media framing in the last 20 years and to analyze whether the titles are heading towards content diversity, quality and equality or rather towards stereotyped and tabloid-like manner of informing their audience. In the theoretical part, two trends of stereotypization and tabloidization are defined and operational approaches are explained. Also, the topic of elderly, their characteristics and current issues and research of their media representations, is covered. Empirical research in the second part consists of a quantitative content analysis of relevant media articles about the elderly during years 1998, 2008, 2018. On the level of a thematic structure, the results show a long-term orientation on few and stereotyped frames of politics, economics and crime. On the other hand, on the level of an inner structure of the text and manner of informing, the Czech press has been inclining towards quality, neutrality and...

Tabloidisaatiohypoteesiksi kutsutun oletuksen mukaan tabloidiformaattiin siirtyminen tiivistää lehteä sekä tuo muutoksia journalismin muoto- ja keinovalikoimaan lyhentämällä tekstejä, lisäämällä kuvien käyttöä ja keventämällä lehden sisältöjä. Artikkelissa verrataan sisällönanalyysin avulla Helsingin Sanomien kulttuurijournalismin sisällöllisiä painotuksia sekä erityisesti kirjallisuusjournalismin muotoja ja puhuttelutapoja syksyllä 2011 ja syksyllä 2016, ennen ja jälkeen tammikuussa 2013 tapahtuneen tabloidisiirtymän. Määrällinen analyysi osoittaa, että tabloidisaatio ei toteudu suoraviivaisesti, vaan se voi johtaa keskenään ristiriitaisiin ja tabloidisaatiohypoteesin kannalta osin odottamattomiin seurauksiin. Vaikka lehti uudistuksen myötä tiivistyi ja juttujen määrä väheni, vastoin odotuksia kulttuurisivujen palstatila kasvoi, jutut pidentyivät ja niiden palastelu väheni. Pienempi koko suosi feature- ja henkilölähtöistä journalismia ja lisääntynyttä kuvien käyttöä, mutta odotusten vastaisesti myös arvostelujen suhteellinen asema hienokseltaan vahvistui.

Kvantitativnom i kvalitativnom metodom analize sadržaja i metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua pokušala se proučiti uloga urednika u novinskoj opremi tiskovnih i online izdanja Jutarnjeg lista i Večernjeg lista. Glavni cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti na koji način se odvijaju promjene u novinskoj opremi sportskih rubrika u prijelazu iz tiskovnog izdanja Jutarnjeg i Večernjeg lista na njihove portale sportske.jutarnji.hr i vecernji.hr u razdoblju od 1. svibnja 2019. do 31. svibnja 2019. godine te koja je uloga urednika u tome. Provedeno istraživanje je potvrdilo kako naslovi na portalima sadrže više senzacionalizama nego oni u novinama, da se u naslovima na portalima najčešće zanemaruje glavna informacija na kojoj se temelji članak te da se urednici na portalima često koriste clickbait naslovima., Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis method and the semi-structured interview method, this paper attempted to explain the role of editors in the newspaper equipment of print and online publications of Jutarnji list and Večernji list. The main objective of the research was to investigate how does the newspaper equipment of sports headlines changes in the transition from the print edition of Jutarnji and Večernji list to their websites sport.jutarnji.hr and vecernji.hr in the period from May 1, 2019 to May 31, 2019 and what is the role of the editor in this. The research has confirmed that headlines on websites contain more sensationalism than those in newspapers, that headlines on websites tend to overlook the main information and that editors on websites often use clickbait headlines.

Starting from the importance of the press in its role of a mediator in the design of cultural systems, the authors are searching for cultural values and identities imposed by the media, by analysing the front pages of Serbian daily newspapers issued in April and May 2018. Tabloidization, sensationalism and commercialization undermine the public interest and the true importance of art and cultural heritage. That is something that creates new consciousness of the audience. Because of that, dominating topics relate to reality television programs and stories about private life of public figures or some controversial personalities. Different segments of society are trivialized through images of scandal and corruption, as well. Cultural policy does not offer a qualitative answer to the problem of infiltrating market ideology and because of that it unconsciously helps the expansion of consumerism. So, in this case, the role of the press is reduced to the services of clientelism and marketing.

El presente artículo compila y analiza el estado de la cuestión sobre la tabloidización y la espectacularización de los medios, con especial énfasis en aquellos aportes teóricos, empíricos y epistemológicos sobre el impacto del ejercicio periodístico tabloidizado en la sociedad de consumo. Para ello se realizó una criba que partió de criterios, descriptores y palabras clave en las principales bases de datos internacionales (JCR y Scopus) utilizando los algoritmos booleanos AND/OR, de la cual emergieron 52 publicaciones en la colección principal de la Web of Science (Core Collection) y 72 en Scopus. Del resultado de la revisión crítica de la literatura se extrae que la formación de industrias mercantiles como mecanismo de ejercicio de poder corporativo y político, aunado con los erróneos hábitos de consumo informativo de las audiencias, promueven el infoentretenimiento, género que se basa en la información banalizada y el sensacionalismo como anzuelo para aumentar los rating de audiencias., This study compiles and analyzes the state of the question about the tabloidization and the spectacularization of the media, with special emphasis on those theoretical, empirical and epistemological contributions on the impact of the tabloidized journalistic exercise in the consumer society. A screening was carried out based on criteria, descriptors and keywords in the main international databases (JCR and Scopus) using the boolean AND / OR algorithms, from which 52 publications emerged in the Core Collection of the Web of Science and 72 in Scopus. The result of the critical review of the literature shows that the formation of mercantile industries as a mechanism of exercise of corporate and political power, coupled with the erroneous habits of informative consumption of the audiences, promote infotainment, genre that is based on banalized information and sensationalism as a bait to increase the ratings of audiences.

Framing Neverland is a content analysis that examines how the documentary Leaving Neverland is portrayed in Swedish daily press between January 25 to May 20, 2019. It is through the questions “How does the framing of Leaving Neverland being perceived in Swedish daily press?” and “Does morning and evening presses differ in the framing?” the essay was designed. Entman's framing theory forms the basis of the study's theoretical framework and is supplemented with media logic and tabloidization, which is operationalized into variables in the study of 100 articles within Swedish daily press. The Swedish morning and evening newspapers are represented by the four largest daily newspapers in Sweden today; Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen and Svenska Dagbladet. A cluster selection were made in the process of choosing the articles, because of the choice of newspapers which is the largest Swedish ones today, also a total selection when all published articles within the population have become objects for the survey. Previous research consists of framing theory and tonality of different subjects than this study, since similar essays traditionally relate to political and war reporting. Inspiration has been given from previous research on analysis tools to apply to this contemporary work which is at the intersection of popular culture and news content. The newspaper framing in general is relatively homogeneous, which explains some tabloidization among, what we call, the quality press. The commercialization of the media gives rise to this, but some differences remain. Aftonbladet is the newspaper with the most frequent reporting by Leaving Neverland and then comes Expressen. Which means that the evening press prioritize this topic as a higher news value than what the morning press does. However, it is possible to extract a result which shows that the content of the morning press is of a more critical nature towards Leaving Neverland. Together, the result is thus presented through framing theory, media logic and tabloidization, which together explain how the documentary is framed. Framing Neverland är en kvantitativ innehållsanalys som undersöker hur dokumentären Leaving Neverland gestaltas i svensk press mellan 25 januari till 20 maj 2019. Det är genom frågeställningarna “Hur ser gestaltningen av Leaving Neverland ut i svensk press?” samt “Skiljer sig morgon- och kvällspress i gestaltningen?” som uppsatsen utformats. Gestaltningsteori står till grund för studiens teoretiska ramverk och kompletteras med medielogik och tabloidisering, vilket operationaliseras till variabler i studien av 100 artiklar inom svensk press. Svenska morgon- och kvällstidningar representeras genom de fyra största dagstidningarna i Sverige idag; Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen och Svenska Dagbladet. Det är således ett klusterurval som gjorts av de största tidningarna, men även ett totalurval då alla publicerade artiklar inom populationen har blivit objekt för undersökningen. Tidigare forskning består av gestaltning och tonalitet av annan slags karaktär än denna studie, då liknande uppsatser traditionellt sett förhåller sig till politisk- och krigsrapportering. Inspiration har givits från tidigare forskning gällande analysverktyg för att applicera på detta nutida verk som befinner sig i skärningspunkten mellan populärkultur och nyhetsinnehåll. Resultatet i studien visar att tidningarnas sammanslagna gestaltning generellt är relativt homogen, vilket förklarar viss tabloidisering bland “kvalitetspressen”. Mediernas kommersialisering ger upphov till detta, men vissa innehållsmässiga skillnader kvarstår. Aftonbladet är den tidning som står för största delen av nyhetsrapporteringen av Leaving Neverland och därefter kommer Expressen. Detta innebär att kvällspressen anser att detta ämne har ett högre nyhetsvärde än vad morgonpressen gör. Således går det att utvinna ett resultat som påvisar att morgonpressens gestaltning är av mer kritisk karaktär gentemot Leaving Neverland. Tillsammans redovisas följaktligen resultatet genom gestaltningsteori, medielogik och tabloidisering, vilket tillsammans förklarar hur medierna gestaltning ser ut av dokumentären.
