How to compile a news paper bibliography

Compiling a bibliography for a newspaper article can be a bit challenging, but here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

Gather sources

1. Identify the sources you've used while researching your newspaper article. These may include:
   • Online news articles
   • Print newspapers
   • Interviews with experts or individuals
   • Government reports
   • Academic studies
   • Books
2. Take note of the following information for each source:
   • Author's name (if available)
   • Title of the article or publication
   • Date of publication
   • Page numbers (if applicable)
   • URL or DOI (if online)

Organize your sources

1. Categorize your sources into three main categories:
   • Print sources (newspapers, books, etc.)
   • Online sources (websites, articles, etc.)
   • Interviews and personal communications
2. Within each category, organize your sources alphabetically by author or title.

Format your bibliography

1. Choose a citation style: There are several citation styles, such as MLA, APA, Chicago, or Harvard. Choose one that's commonly used in your field or industry.
2. Use a consistent format for each source:
   • For print sources:
     • Author's last name, First name. "Article Title." Newspaper Title, Date of Publication, Page Numbers.
     • Example: Smith, John. "New Study Reveals..." The New York Times, 10 Feb. 2022, pp. A1-A3.
   • For online sources:
     • Author's last name, First name. "Article Title." Website Title, Date of Publication, URL.
     • Example: Johnson, Mary. "Breaking News:..." CNN, 15 Mar. 2022, https://www.cnn.com/.
   • For interviews and personal communications:
     • Interviewee's name. Personal Interview. Date of Interview.
     • Example: Smith, Jane. Personal Interview. 20 Jan. 2022.
