BROADSIDE (PRINTING)

A 'broadside' is a large sheet of paper, generally printed on one side and folded into a smaller size, often used as a direct-mail piece or for door-to-door distribution. Traditionally, printed works were printed on broadside sheets, then folded and cut to produce books of a smaller page size than the original sheet.
In the UK the only national daily newspaper still printed in a broadsheet format is the Daily Telegraph, all the other serious newspapers have followed the style of the red tops and are now printed in tabloid format.
