Citing a newspaper article requires the following pieces of information: author; year, month, and day that the article appeared; the article title; the name of the newspaper; and the page where the article appeared. Newspaper articles follow the typical first elements of a reference: Author. (Date). Title of work. However, the date should include the year followed by a comma, then the month and the date. Just like journal articles, the title of the newspaper article is in plain font. After the article title, write the newspaper name in italics followed by a comma, the letter p. to indicate the page number, and the inclusive page numbers of the article.
