Opposed to tabloid journalism or news; resistant to sensationalism, gossip, and simplified reporting in media.
From anti- (against) + tabloid (a newspaper format and style, named after tabloid tablets—medicine tablets—because the news was condensed). This modern term reflects late 20th-century media criticism.
Interestingly, the first tabloids were actually reformist—they used shocking headlines to expose injustice—but the term became synonymous with sensationalism, showing how even honest tools can be corrupted by incentives.
