Apa cite online news article
Here is the general format for citing an online news article in APA style:
Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of article: Subtitle of article. Retrieved from https://www.url.com
Here's a breakdown of the components:
- Author's Last Name, First Initial: The author's last name and first initial, separated by a comma.
- Year, Month Day of Publication: The year, month, and day of publication, separated by commas.
- Title of article: Subtitle of article: The title of the article, followed by a colon, and then the subtitle (if applicable).
- Retrieved from: The phrase "Retrieved from" followed by the URL of the article.
Example:
Smith, J. (2022, March 15). COVID-19 cases surge in local hospitals. Retrieved from https://www.news.com/article/covid-19-cases-surge-in-local-hospitals
Note:
- If the article does not have an author, start the citation with the title of the article.
- If the article has no date of publication, use "n.d." instead of the date.
- If the article has no URL, use "n.d." instead of the URL.
- If the article is from a news organization that requires a subscription or login to access, include the name of the organization and the date of access in the citation.
Here's an example of a citation without an author:
COVID-19 cases surge in local hospitals. (2022, March 15). Retrieved from https://www.news.com/article/covid-19-cases-surge-in-local-hospitals
