Cite the newspaper article in-text by writing the last name of the author in parentheses followed by the page number from which you drew the information. Use the newspaper's numbering system, usually a letter followed by a number, such as A1 or D7. For example: In its 2010 Annual Report, the National Down Syndrome Society emphasized its goal for women with a prenatal Down Syndrome diagnosis to receive better education on the condition (Moore A13). Write the corporate name as the author if the article is from Associated Press, Reuters or another news service. For example: "Scientists predict that sunspots and other solar activity will increase over the next year (Associated Press D1)."
Write only the page number in parentheses if you cite the reporter in the actual text of your paper. However, if you cite only the newspaper, you still need to cite the reporter in parentheses. For example: "According to the Associated Press, scientists predict that sunspots and other solar activity will increase over the next year (D2)."
Cite a newspaper article from a website as you would a print newspaper, but give the page number from which you drew the information online; if the article is contained on a single page, do not write a page number. For example: "In its 2010 Annual Report, the National Down Syndrome Society emphasized its goal for women with a prenatal Down Syndrome diagnosis to receive better education on the condition (Moore)."
Cite a print or electronic newspaper in your bibliography by writing the author's last name, a comma, first name and a period. Write the title of the article in parentheses followed by a period, then the title of the newspaper in italics followed by a period. If the newspaper's city of origin is not part of its name, write it in brackets after the title of the paper. Omit the word "The" from the beginning of the newspaper's name; cite "The Washington Post" as "Washington Post."
Complete a bibliographic citation of a print newspaper by writing the date of the article, a colon and the page number(s) of the article. If the article is available on non-consecutive pages, write "+" after the first page number. Write the edition if the paper has multiple editions. Conclude by writing "Print." For example: Associated Press. "Sunspot Activity to Decrease." Post and Courier [Charleston, SC]. 9 June 2011: D1+. Print.
Compose a bibliographic citation of an electronic newspaper article by writing the date of the article followed by a period. Write "Web," then write the date you accessed the article. Do not include the URL unless your instructor specifically requires it. For example: Associated Press. "Sunspot Activity to Decrease." Post and Courier [Charleston, SC]. 10 June 2011. Web. 14 June 2011.
