quality newspaper

Reputable daily publication

A quality newspaper is a publication emphasizing serious journalism—in-depth reporting, analysis, and coverage of politics, economics, and culture—as opposed to tabloids focused on celebrity gossip and sensationalism.

The term is more common in British English: The Guardian and The Times are quality newspapers.

Also called a broadsheet, though many quality papers now use smaller formats.
