broadsheets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'array of films' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'quality newspapers cover wide' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'newspapers' could be 'sheets' (sheet is a kind of newspaper) and 'sheets' is located in the answer.
'wide' could be 'broad' (synonyms) and 'broad' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for broadsheets that I've seen is " What may be of use to sleepers on benches".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
