How to cite a news article

Citing a news article can vary depending on the citation style you're using, but here are some general guidelines:

MLA (Modern Language Association) style:

• Author's Last Name, First Name. "Article Title." Newspaper Title, Day Month Year, pp. Page Numbers.
• Example: Smith, John. "New Study Reveals Surprising Results." The New York Times, 12 Jan. 2022, pp. A1-A3.

APA (American Psychological Association) style:

• Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day of publication). Article title. Newspaper title, pp. Page numbers.
• Example: Smith, J. (2022, January 12). New study reveals surprising results. The New York Times, pp. A1-A3.

• Author's Last Name, First Name. "Article Title." Newspaper Title, Day Month Year, pp. Page Numbers.
• Example: Smith, John. "New Study Reveals Surprising Results." The New York Times, January 12, 2022, pp. A1-A3.

General guidelines:

• Include the author's name, article title, newspaper title, date of publication, and page numbers (if available).
• If the article does not have an author, use the title of the article as the author.
• If the article is online, include the URL and the date of access (if available).
• If the article is from a newspaper or magazine that is not widely available, you may need to include additional information, such as the city or region where the newspaper is published.

Additional tips:

• Make sure to check the publication date of the article, as it may be different from the date of publication.
• If the article is from a reputable news source, you may not need to include the URL or date of access.
• If you're citing a news article from a online news aggregator or website, such as Google News or CNN, you may need to include the URL and date of access.

Remember to always check with your instructor or consult the relevant style guide for specific guidelines on citing news articles in your particular field or discipline.
