Tabloid Weeklies
Tabloid weeklies exist in both magazine and newspaper form. You'll find them sold in supermarkets, right at the checkout line. Their subject matter is more sensational than factual: UFO's, television and movie stars, astrology and the occult, health miracles, and, of course, the latest sighting of Elvis Presley. Their headlines scream right out at you in an effort to make you buy. (The author's personal favorite? FROZEN CHICKEN WAKES.) The National Enquirer, Globe and National Star are the three biggest with combined circulation in the tens of millions. Two publishing companies control the six largest supermarket tabloid weekly newspapers. At least 50 million Americans read these newspapers regularly, read no other newspapers, and rely on television for all their other information.
