Write the reporter's last name in parentheses, just as you would write the author's last name if you were citing a book or journal article. If the author is a news agency such as Associated Press or Reuters, write the name of the news agency in place of the author's name.
Write a comma followed by the year of publication.
Cite a physical copy of the newspaper by writing a comma followed by "p." Write the page number from which you drew the information after "p." Write the number exactly as it appears in the newspaper itself; if the article was on page D3, for instance, you would write the page number as D3. If the article covers multiple non-consecutive pages, such as a piece that begins on page A1 and continues on page A6, and you drew the information from both of those pages, write the first page, a comma and the second page: "A1, A6." For example, you would write (Markon, 2011, pp. A1, A6).
Cite an online article by writing "p." and writing the page number from which you drew the information afterwards. For instance, if you drew the information from the second page of an online article, you would write (Markon, 2011, p. 2). If the article was a single page long and therefore had no page numbers, you would close the parentheses after the year: (Markon, 2011).
Omit the reporter's name in parentheses if you name him in the paragraph itself. However, if you name only the newspaper, you still need to cite the reporter in the parentheses. For example, if naming the reporter, you would write:
According to Markon (2011), a June 2010 Army inspection found evidence that Arlington National Cemetery was mislabeling soldiers' remains (A1).
However, if mentioning only the newspaper in the paragraph, you would write:
The Washington Post noted that a June 2010 Army inspection found evidence that Arlington National Cemetery was mislabeling soldiers' remains (Markon, 2011, p. A1).
Write the reporter's last name in parentheses, just as you would write the author's last name if you were citing a book or journal article. If the author is a news agency such as Associated Press or Reuters, write the name of the news agency in place of the author's name.

If the article covers multiple non-consecutive pages, such as a piece that begins on page A1 and continues on page A6, and you drew the information from both of those pages, write a plus sign after the first page: "A1+" For example, you would write (Markon A1+).
Cite an online article by writing the page number from which you drew the information after the reporter's name. For instance, if you drew the information from the second page of an online article, you would write (Markon 2).
