They can be found in almost every
grocery store or supermarket in the US. People rarely pay attention to them
anymore due to the fact that everything is on the internet. Regardless if
you visit a local 7-Eleven or even a CVS chances are you've seen a supermarket
tabloid. From personal experience, I've only ever picked up a supermarket
tabloid for one reason to see if a celeb really cheated on another celeb. It's
very common to see a supermarket tabloids front page filled with drama and
that's what attracts its readers.
More often than not supermarket tabloids
have words and images that pop off the page. For example, a supermarket Tabloid
would be "The Globe" or "The National Enquirer" and they
specialize in crime stories. You'll never find a Supermarket tabloid that
doesn't have at least one gossip column about a celebrity or sports stars, but
as they've progressed various tabloids have expanded their range of
topics. Despite people's opinions supermarket tabloids don't always use
mean-spirited tactics, but usually, the ones that do attract the most customers
and readers. One supermarket tabloid jumps out when you're talking about
mean-spirited tactics, and that's none other than The Globe.
At
the top of a Globe supermarket tabloid, the first thing that you can see is
Serial Killers Special Report: "Nurse Slaughters 60 Babies". The
Globe wouldn't be what it was without the bright yellow lettering of its main
article on the center of its front page. More often than not what they decided
to feature as their main story is the story that doesn't hold any truth, but
they do attract customers. "Priscilla's NEW LOVER LIVES IN TRAILER
PARK!" screams at the viewer on the front page; personally I have no idea
who the woman is in the photo but most supermarket tabloids do a good job of
featuring stories catered to the younger generation.
