Where it comes from
The titles of these newspapers are traditionally presented on a red banner at the top of the front page.
noun red tops
- A tabloid newspaper, particularly one of those aimed primarily at a working class audience and considered to have lower journalistic standards than black tops or broadsheets. Just as broadsheets only exceptionally outsell any of the tabloids, so middle-market tabloids—the Mail and Express—only rarely outsell the red tops (although the upmarket Sunday Times outsells the mid-market Express on Sunday and The Mail on Sunday outsells The People).
- skimmed milk Red-top milk might be about to disappear
- homogenised whole milk Semi-skimmed milk (half the fat of silver and red top)
