  • If there is no author, the article title comes first.  
  • Use italics and "headline-style" capitalization.  
  • Some large newspapers are divided into sections labeled A, B, etc. If this is the case, the letter must be included to aid retrieval.  
  • If an article appears on discontinuous pages, give all page numbers, and separate the numbers with a comma (e.g., B1, B3, B5-B7).
  • If you used a print version of the newspaper article, provide the page or pages of the article after the newspaper title. Do not include the abbreviations “p.” or “pp.” before the page(s).
