Berliner, or "midi", is a newspaper format with pages normally measuring about 315 × 470 mm (12.4 × 18.5 in). The Berliner format is slightly taller and marginally wider than the tabloid/compact format; and is both narrower and shorter than the broadsheet format.
The Berliner format is used by many European newspapers, including dailies such as Le Monde in France, Le Temps in Switzerland, La Repubblica and La Stampa in Italy, El País and El Mundo in Spain, De Morgen, Le Soir and Het Laatste Nieuws in Belgium, Mladá fronta Dnes and Lidové noviny in the Czech Republic, and (since 12 September 2005) The Guardian in the United Kingdom, and others such as Expresso in Portugal. The French financial newspaper Les Échos changed to this format in September 2003, and the largest daily papers in Croatia (Večernji list), Serbia (Politika) and Montenegro (Vijesti), are also in this format. The most recent European newspaper to join this trend is De Tijd/L'Echo, Belgium's main economic news publications (March 13th 2012). Student publication The University Observer became Ireland's first Berliner-sized paper in September 2009.
Berliner is most often used to designate a citizen of Berlin, Germany, but may also refer to:
Culprit 1 aka Culprit One (born James Hannam) is a London-based DJ, remixer and electronica producer. He is considered 'The DJ Shadow of Wales' by BBC Radio 1 and 'The Bastard Son of Orbital and RJD2' by XFM.
Hannam holds a degree in music from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and attended Crosskeys College in the Welsh valleys, where the Manic Street Preachers also studied. His music has been broadcast on BBC Radio 1 by Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe, Bethan Elfyn, Annie Mac, Annie Nightingale, Colin Murray and Huw Stephens (who contributed sleeve notes to first album 'Running in Order'). Eddy Temple-Morris, Adam Walton and Radio 101 (Croatia) have also supported Culprit 1 releases.
'What I Use', the first recording made under the Culprit 1 moniker, was released in July 2003 on Boobytrap. Hannam went on to perform at America’s legendary South by Southwest event and subsequently signed to Exceptional Records.
Following popular events with a string quartet early in 2007 (two members of which also performed with Kanye West on his 2006 UK tour), he found favour in the classical music world, earning the support of influential UK radio station Classic FM.
