The change to a tabloid format brought "The Courier-Mail" in line with all other News Limited Australian metropolitan daily newspapers. This followed the change to a tabloid format by "The Advertiser" of Adelaide—another News Corporation newspaper—some years earlier. Despite the claims that there would be no loss of journalistic quality, "The Courier-Mail" in its "compact" format is not well regarded for its journalism, e.g. the 'Crikey' website described it as "one of the contestants in a close run field for worst paper in Australia". In August 2011, police and the parents of a murder victim criticized the paper for falsely accusing their son of a child sex crime.
