Question: What is Tabloid Size?
The Tabloids or Tabloid newspapers characterized by sensational or bizarre news stories get their name from the tabloid size of the finished publication which is smaller than the standard size of most newspapers in North America.
Answer: Fold a broadsheet in half or double a sheet of letter size paper and you've got tabloid size.
