As I understand, a Broadsheet Newspaper Template is defined as 12 x 22 in:

"Broadsheet refers to the most common newspaper format, which is typically around 15 inches wide to 20 or more inches long in the U.S., though sizes vary around the world.2 Broadsheet papers tend to feature six columns and employ a traditional approach to news gathering that emphasizes in-depth coverage and a sober writing tone in articles and editorials aimed at fairly affluent, educated readers. Many of the nation's most respected, influential newspapersThe New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal, for example—are broadsheet papers.

In recent years many broadsheets have been reduced in size to cut printing costs. For instance, The New York Times was narrowed by 1 1/2 inches in 2008. Other broadsheet papers, including USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, also have been trimmed."

I'm guessing Adobe InDesign is the standard for such layouts?  Or no?

Maybe I'm not seeing them because maybe they're resource intensive?

There is a Word (Blank) Template.

Publisher is new to me, so, maybe even a little guidance as to where to begin and how to go from there or where to get such (Affinity Publisher) type guidance would help.

I understand that likely AI / IDML formats would work.  Haven't seen any of the Broadsheet type as described above.

Hello @fjunk,

That's correct. If you happen to come across an inDesign Broadsheet Newspaper Template you could save it in IDML format and open it in Publisher. 

Adobe Stock offers a variety of Broadsheet templates but they are not free.

However, found a Youtube tutorial on how to setup a broadsheet template in inDesign.

I think it is quite straightforward to translate instructions given there into Publisher.

Good luck. 🙂

Found these:

They give me the broad stroke (blank page) layout, but not any good examples of what a finished format would look like.  A mockup would help me get a handle on layout and design.

Also this (which provides template / mockups) - saveable as PDF (I believe) haven't tried so may be wrong.  But, worth a shot.:
