Proper Bibliographic Reference Format:
-
- Bibliographic references are double-spaced and indented half an inch after the first line.
- If there is no author, the article title comes first.
- Use italics and "headline-style" capitalization for titles of newspapers.
- Use the URL of the homepage of the newspaper to avoid non-working URLs.
- Note: The format for this type of source depends on whether your source comes from a site with an associated newspaper. If the source does come from a site with an associated newspaper, leave the title of the article unformatted, but italicize the title of the newspaper.
- If the newspaper article is from an academic research database, provide the title of the newspaper and any volume, issue, and/or page numbers that are available for the article. Do not include database information in the reference. If the article does not have volume, issue, or page numbers available, the reference in this case ends with the title of the newspaper.
- If the article is from a news website (e.g., CNN, HuffPost)—one that does not have an associated daily or weekly newspaper—use the format for a webpage on a news website instead.
