Difference between broadsheet and tabloid newspapers

What is the difference between broadsheet and tabloid newspapers? Does one always deal with more respectable news / produce more professional journalism than the other?

Broadsheet newspapers is usually for straight and formal news that are important, like murder, political news interational news and news that would shake the world. In broadsheet newspapers, one will then expect to see news on the more serious tone.
On the opposite, tabloid newspapers usually focus on entertainment news, like who and who are getting married in the entertainment ring, other gossip news like who and who are dating secretly. All of these are those one usually can find tabloid newpapers.
Of course, the more respectable news usually land up in broadsheet newspapers. However, I do not see a difference in the professionalism in each. As long a report can be officially published for the entire world to see, it must had went through many rounds of editing before it can be published, So, I do not think that one produces more professional journalism than the other.
