Newspaper Article

Grace Fleming
Every newspaper is different, so many rules apply to newspapers as sources.

  • In the example above, Winder is the name of a town. If the town or city of publication is not part of the newspaper's name, add it to the end of the title in brackets like this:

    News and Advertiser [Atlanta, GA]

  • If the article starts on one page, skips several pages, and continues on a later page, list the first page and add a + sign, as in 10C+.

  • Always include date, but leave off volume and issue numbers.

  • When listing the title of a newspaper, leave off "The" or any other article.
