Tabloids on serious issues.
Newspapers are there to keep people informed but tabloids focus on local interest stories and entertainment.Tabloids tend to exaggerate stories and gossip columns.They are full opinions and pictures and they fabricate headlines to attract customers.They focus less on climate change.
Since circulation of tabloids is higher than broadsheet sources they should use that opportunity to cover issues on gobal warming.It shoud shape public awareness of the effects of global warming.These shoud make people understand the world they live in and the steps they should follow to decrease gobal warming but they seem to be interested in making money.
Journalist have the power to make the reader believe anything. They should write worrying stories about climate change, people will buy the newspaper again to see if the government is doing anything about worrying issues.Tabloids have the power to make an issue seem the most important thing in the world.Most peope believe in them so they should give a correct picture of society.The society`s view on global warming will change for the better if they cover these issues.Tabloids are good in making people love/hate celebrities so they should use that power to influnce people to live in a more sustainable environmemt.

Why is it, do you think, that people prefer to read about celebrities than about 'serious' issues? Maybe we feel uncertain about what we as individuals can do to tackle issues such as climate change. Maybe we only care about things in the here-and-now.
