Mention the newspaper in your paper's narrative in lieu of a formal citation style. The Chicago Style allows you to refer to a newspaper by stating something similar to this:
"As Mike Lupica pointed out in the New York Daily News on March 19, 1984, Dave Winfield..."
Use a footnote or endnote if you wish to formally cite a newspaper in the humanities style. Superscript (raise) a number next to the information you are documenting. Include a corresponding footnote or endnote as shown here:
10. Mike Lupica, "Winfield Likes Yankee's Chances," New York Daily News, March 20, 1984, Sports section, National edition.
Provide a much shorter in-text parenthetical citation following the information when using the author-date format.
(Lupica 1984).
List either a bibliographic (humanities style) or reference list entry (author-date format) to correspond to your footnote or endnote or in-text citation. A humanities style bibliographic entry is shown below followed by a slightly different author-date format reference list entry.
Lupica Mike. "Winfield Likes Yankee's Chances." New York Daily News, March 20, 1984, Sports section, National edition.
