Citing a publication from a newspaper can be a bit tricky, but here are some general guidelines:
APA (American Psychological Association) style:
- For a newspaper article with a date:
- Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of article. Title of Newspaper, pp. Page Numbers.
- Example: Smith, J. (2022, January 15). New Study Reveals... The New York Times, pp. A1-A3.
- For a newspaper article without a date:
- Author's Last Name, First Initial. Title of article. Title of Newspaper, pp. Page Numbers.
- Example: Johnson, M. The Impact of Climate Change. The Washington Post, pp. B1-B2.
MLA (Modern Language Association) style:
- For a newspaper article with a date:
- Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Article." Title of Newspaper, Date of Publication, pp. Page Numbers.
- Example: Smith, John. "New Study Reveals..." The New York Times, 15 Jan. 2022, pp. A1-A3.
- For a newspaper article without a date:
- Lastname, Firstname. "Title of Article." Title of Newspaper, pp. Page Numbers.

Chicago/Turabian style:
- For a newspaper article with a date:
- Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Newspaper, Date of Publication, pp. Page Numbers.

General tips:
- Make sure to include the author's name, title of the article, title of the newspaper, date of publication (if available), and page numbers (if available).
- If the newspaper article does not have a date, you can omit it or use "n.d." (no date) instead.
- If the newspaper article does not have page numbers, you can omit them or use "n.p." (no page) instead.
- Always check the newspaper's website or a reliable online source to verify the accuracy of the information.
Remember to consult the specific citation style guide you are using (APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, etc.) for more detailed information on citing newspaper articles.
