- Description
- As well as pandering to the lowest common denominator and simplifying complex issues, tabloids are also condemned for generally failing to provide information that citizens need in order to make informed political judgements - the latter being the raison d'etre of serious newspapers. In summary, tabloids "lower the standards of public discourse" (Ornerbring and Jonson, 2004: 283).
