Supermarket tabloids are national weekly magazines printed on
newsprint in
tabloid format, specializing in celebrity news, gossip, astrology, and bizarre (some would say
apocryphal) stories about ordinary people. Supermarket tabloids are particularly notorious for the over-the-top sensationalizing of stories, the facts of which can be called into question. Tabloids - such as
The Globe and
The National Enquirer - often use aggressive and usually mean-spirited tactics to sell their issues. Unlike regular tabloid-format newspapers, supermarket tabloids are distributed through the magazine distribution channel, similarly to other weekly magazines and mass-market paperback books. They are often found for sale alongside the checkout lines of
supermarkets, hence the name. Leading examples include
The National Enquirer,
Star,
Weekly World News, and
Sun.
