Middle-market
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A middle-market newspaper mixes news and gossip. Middle-market status is the halfway point of a three-level continuum of journalistic seriousness; upmarket newspapers generally cover hard news and down-market newspapers favor sensationalist stories. In the United Kingdom, the only national middle market papers are the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, distinguishable by their black-top masthead, as opposed to the tabloids' red-top mastheads. The best known American middle market papers are USA Today, Chicago Sun-Times, New York Daily News.
