Tabloids such as "The Sun" have a lower text to image ratio and are typically more opinionated, this is aimed more at the working class people who have less time to read. Front covers of tabloids generally take about 10 seconds to read, however, broadsheets contain much more information and are much less opinionated, The text to image ratio is higher taking longer to read and they tell the full story, the actual news, as opposed to that of a tabloid. Mid-market tabloids, although having a higher text to image ratio contain more opinionated news. Often favouring news of royalty, they are very patriarchal and their logo, a crest on top of each front cover connotes history and a sort of pride to be English. Also shown through over exaggerated fancy font.
