NY-GOV: Mamdani declines to immediately back Hochul's reelection after she offers him coveted endorsement

[lapucelle]

54. Oh dear.

You used the word "tabloid" as a noun, and then skipped right over its definition as a noun and instead posted the definition of "tabloid" as an adjective. That's what the "adj" means. Your post used the word as a noun.

Here's the definition of "tabloid" as both a noun and an adjective from your source:

tabloid
noun

1: a newspaper that is about half the page size of an ordinary newspaper and that contains news in condensed form and much photographic matter
2: digest, summary

tabloid
adjective

1 of, relating to, or resembling tabloids especially : featuring stories of violence, crime, or scandal presented in a sensational manner

==============================

Using AI can be so tricky! Your *source* says that the NYDN attracted customers 106 years ago (that's even older than the facebook meme) with sensationalized stories about crime and scandals, but it has evolved won Pulitzer prizes for serious journalism.

==============================

And finally, The decontextualized snippet from Wiki appears to be describing a type of journalism rather than a newspaper format, and the result of the cropped, partial quote is "a tabloid is a type of journalism..."

Is your Wikipedia mid-sentence snippet from the section about a specific subset of tabloids, the red top tabloid? The NYDN is not a red top tabloid.

Red top tabloids
See also: Red tops

Red top tabloids, named after their distinguishing red mastheads, employ a form of writing known as tabloid journalism; this style emphasizes features such as sensational crime stories, astrology, gossip columns about the personal lives of celebrities and sports stars, and junk food news. Celebrity gossip columns which appear in red top tabloids and focus on their sexual practices, misuse of narcotics, and the private aspects of their lives often border on, and sometimes cross the line of defamation.
