Identify all quotations, paraphrases, summaries and other materials in your paper that are not your original product, including those drawn from newspaper articles. MLA guidelines require that each of these passages be cited both within the text and in a list of references at the end of the paper.
Cite newspaper articles in the list of sources at the end of your paper. Write the author's name, the title of the article in quotation marks, the name of the newspaper in italics, the date of publication (abbreviating the month), and the medium-of-publication designator. If there is more than one edition for the date of publication, identify the edition after the date. The Purdue Online Writing Lab gives this citation sample:
Krugman, Andrew. "Fear of Eating." New York Times 21 May 2007 late ed.: A1. Print.
Cite newspapers articles in parentheses at the end of the sentence in which the reference occurs. These parenthetical citations replace footnotes and correspond to the full citations in the list of references at the end of the article. Example: (Krugman 11).
