Comparison of some newspaper sizes with metric paper sizes. Approximate nominal dimensions are in millimetres.

Newspaper formats vary substantially, with different formats more common in different countries. The size of a newspaper format refers to the size of the paper page; the printed area within that can vary substantially depending on the newspaper.[1]

In some countries, particular formats have associations with particular types of newspaper; for example, in the United Kingdom, there is a distinction between "tabloid" and "broadsheet" as references to newspaper content quality, which originates with the more popular newspapers using the tabloid format; hence "tabloid journalism".

In a recent trend,[2] many newspapers have been undergoing what is known as "web cut down", in which the publication is redesigned to print using a narrower (and less expensive) roll of paper. In extreme examples, some broadsheet papers are nearly as narrow as traditional tabloids.

An average roll of 26.4 in (670 mm), 45 in (1,100 mm) diameter newsprint rolled out is 60–65 cm long.[dubiousdiscuss]
