How do tabloid newspapers influence society?
To influence, is to persuade someone to change their point of view. Today we say that society is influenced by the media. We believe what we see on television and what we read in newspapers, so journalists have the power to make the reader believe anything! The tabloid newspapers in particular, can express a certain point of view and present it as a fact. For example, singer Amy Winehouse has been turned against by the Sun newspaper, and people begin to disrespect her rather than feeling sorry for her, for having a problem with drug abuse.
