Résumé du document

The Quality Press:

Most famous and important serious newspapers in Britain are:

1. The Daily Telegraph
2. The Guardian
3. The Independent
4. The Times

The different format:

Originally newspapers had a broadsheet format.
Such as Daily telegraph which is one of the only two remaining British broadsheet newspaper with the Financial Times.

Others changed their format for a more convenient reading in a café or a bus.

2003 and 2004, the Independent and the Times switched to a compact sized format: Same size than a tabloid in order to attract young readers.

The Guardian followed them by switching to a Berliner format in 2005: Few cm wider and 10 cm taller than a compact, same size than Le Monde.
