From Broadsheet to Tabloid

Finnish broadsheet newspapers are changing their format to tabloid. The project analyses format changes of Alma Media’s regional newspapers and Helsingin Sanomat. The project consists of three working packages: 1) changes in the content, 2) the aims and results of the format change in the newsrooms, 3) the reception of the format change among the audience and the advertisers.
