voided. She claims that the 4 largest-selling tabloids do not feature these stories neither. She claims that another popular story type is the ““inside look” at the life of popular TV shows, with nighttime soap operas and situation comedies the favorites.” She says that tabloids every year spend thousands of dollars every year on inside information about soap opera cliffhangers and upcoming season’s story lines. This is a form of propaganda in which they use the information and only put a little bit of it so the reader can come back and buy a copy every week to read the following installments of the publication. This is one of their methods for selling the magazine. She admits the inside secrets of the tabloids as well. She claims that what tabloids do is since they only really want are happy stories, they take a simple story, called a story “nugget”, and make it into a cover story. They get story “nuggets” by searching through other newspapers, magazines, etc. and they take a small story, and try to find out as much information as they can. They try to get the information by calling whomever was on the scene of the story...whether it be relatives, police, whatever and try and get some quotes. She claims they also try to put words into people mouths. If an interviewee is only saying very little then the interviewer will rephrase questions many times so he/she could get different variations of the answer. When he/she is satisfied with the many answers they ask other relevant information. After this process they take the pieces and put them together like a big jigsaw puzzle, they do this tabloid style. However if they are not getting the response-that they want and they have to start making up details then they- drop it...for they do not want a total lie for a story.She also says that if there is not a good story to fill up a page, the reporters will make up a story.
