In the world of print journalism, the two main formats for newspapers are broadsheet and tabloid. Strictly speaking, these terms refer to the page sizes of such papers, but the different formats have distinct histories and associations.
A tabloid is a newspaper, especially one that's smaller than a traditional daily paper and focuses on sensational news items. The word tabloid originally meant "small tablet of medicine" in the 1880's. By 1900, it also meant "a compressed form of anything," including journalism.
Daily Tabloids are, for instance, The Sun, The Daily Mirror, The Daily Express, The Daily Star, The Daily Mail and The Daily Sport. Tabloids that only appear on Sundays are, for example, The Sunday Express, The News of the World, The Sunday Mirror, The Sunday Sport and The Sunday People.
In November 2003, News International began producing the newspaper in both broadsheet and tabloid sizes. Over the next year, the broadsheet edition was withdrawn from Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the West Country. Since 1 November 2004, the paper has been printed solely in tabloid format.

No, tabloids are not fake news. However some tabloids have no doubt contained some 'fake news' items. From these short, simple, often insubstantial stories with oversized headlines, intended to catch the eye of a potential buyer of the paper as they were passing a newstand, we get 'tabloid journalism'.
They exist because people want to read them and therefore they can make a decent income selling ad space in them, as well as by charging for the publication itself.
Examples include The Sun, The National Enquirer, The Star Magazine, New York Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, and The Globe.

I think this because broadsheet newspapers usually show news on more pressing matters whereas tabloids are usually better known to show news about gossip and scandals and more petty matters. Broadsheet newspapers usually also have more factual informationthan tabloids.
Although now printed in tabloid format, the Daily Mail continues to position itself in the middle market between the tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. The Daily Mail has always been associated with politics and dominates coverage on political life.
