Determine which of the prominent writing styles you must follow for your paper.
Adhere to MLA style by listing the author's last name, first name, the title of the article in quotation marks, name of publication (underlined), the city (if the newspaper is a state or local paper and the city is not part of the title), day, month, year, edition and page location (only if specified), day month year accessed, if different from publication, then the url. Example:
Davis, Betty. "College Tuition Increasing." The Daily Star [Plainsville] 12
Oct. 2010 <http://www.thedailystar.co>.
Follow APA style by listing the author's last name, initial of the author's first name. In parentheses, put the year, month, day the story was published; the title of the story (only first letter upper cased), the name of the publication (in italics), then "Retrieved from" and the Internet address of the publication. Example:
Davis, B. (2010, October 12). College tuition increasing. The Daily Star.
Retrieved from http://www.thedailystar.com
Indent five spaces for MLA and APA styles if your type spills over to a second line.
Follow the Chicago Manual of Style for formal writing citations by listing the author's first and last name, title of the article in quotation marks, name of publication (in italics), month, day, year, then site address. Example:
Betty Davis, "College Tuition Increasing," The Daily Star, October 12, 2010, accessed November 10, 2010, http://www.thedailystar.com.
Adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style when making note of newspaper articles within the text of a less former paper. An example would be "...Betty Davis noted in a Daily Star article on October 12, 2010."
