英语词汇tabloid的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	tabloid
词源	tabloid. Tabloid was originally a trademark for a pill com- pressing several medicines into one tablet made by Great Brit- ain’s Burroughs, Wellcome and Company. The Westminster Ga- zette used the word for the title of a new newspaper it published in 1902 and won a court case in which the pharmaceutical company claimed that the word was private property. Though the first paper called a tabloid appeared in 1902, all of the jour- nalistic practices associated with tabloids are much older.
