Notes-bibliography style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

In most cases, cite articles and other pieces from daily newspapers only in notes. You generally need not include them in your bibliography, although you may choose to include a specific article that is critical to your argument or frequently cited.

Follow the general pattern for citation of articles in magazines (see 17.3). Omit page numbers, because a newspaper may have several editions in which items may appear on different pages or may even be dropped. You may clarify which edition you consulted by adding final edition, Midwest edition, or some such identifier.

6. Obituary of Jacques Derrida, New York Times, October 10, 2004, national edition.

If you cite an article by its headline, you can use either headline- or sentence-style capitalization (see 22.3.1), but be consistent. Newspapers use both, so change all headlines to conform to the style you choose.

Instead of using a note, you can sometimes cite articles by weaving several key elements into your text; at a minimum, include the name and date of the paper and the author of the article (if any). Some of this information can appear in parentheses, even if it does not follow the form for parenthetical notes described in 16.4.3.

In a New York Times article on the transitions within the Supreme Court (September 30, 2005), Linda Greenhouse discusses these trends.

17.4.1 Special format issues

For American newspapers, omit an initial The in the name of the newspaper. If the name does not include a city, add it to the official title, except for well-known national papers such as the Wall Street Journal or the Christian Science Monitor. If a name is shared by many cities or is obscure, you may add the state or province in parentheses (usually abbreviated; see 24.3.1). For foreign newspapers, retain initial articles, and add city names after titles.
