Abstract
This article responds to what is regarded as a widespread critique of the phenomenon of tabloidization in television news and current affairs. Arguing that this is a phenomenon which cultural studies has found difficulty in critiquing - at least partly due to cultural studies’ populist heritage - this article sets out to suggest what kind of role cultural criticism should play in the analysis of contemporary television news and current affairs programming.Keywords
