How to cite bbc news online apa
According to the American Psychological Association (APA) style guide, here's how to cite a BBC News online article:
In-Text Citation:
- If the article has a title, use the title in the in-text citation, followed by the year of publication and the page number(s) if applicable.
- If the article does not have a title, use the author's last name and the year of publication.
- Example: (Smith, 2022, para. 3)
Reference List Entry:
-
Author's Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day of Publication). Title of article. BBC News. Retrieved from https://www.bbc.com/news/
-
Example: Smith, J. (2022, March 15). UK economy grows at fastest rate in 10 years. BBC News. Retrieved from https://www.bbc.com/news/business/60645611
Additional Tips:
- If the article does not have an author, use the title of the article in the reference list entry.
- If the article does not have a date of publication, use "n.d." instead of the year.
- If the article is updated or revised, use the date of the most recent update.
- If the article is not available online, use the date of publication in the reference list entry.
Example of a BBC News article without an author:
- In-Text Citation: (BBC News, 2022, para. 2)
- Reference List Entry: BBC News. (2022, January 10). UK weather: Heavy snow and ice warnings issued. BBC News. Retrieved from https://www.bbc.com/weather/60645611
