Dimensions
A tabloid is defined as "roughly 17 by 11 inches (432 by 279 mm)" and commonly "half the size of a broadsheet"; confusion can arise because "many broadsheets measure roughly 291⁄2 by 231⁄2 inches (749 by 597 mm)", half of which is roughly 15 in × 12 in (381 mm × 305 mm) not 17 in × 11 in (432 mm × 279 mm).
