Newspaper articles - Special format issues
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

In your reference list, cite articles and other pieces from daily newspapers generally as you would articles in magazines (see 19.3). For an unsigned article, use the name of the newspaper in place of the author. Because a newspaper may have several editions with slightly different contents, you may clarify which edition you consulted by adding final edition, Midwest edition, or some such identifier.

R: Kamin, Blair. 2005. Wrigley Building clearly a landmark. Chicago Tribune. July 1. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. 1998. Editorial. June 1. New York Times, national edition. 2004. Obituary of Jacques Derrida. October 10.

Omit page numbers in parenthetical citations because the item may appear on different pages or may even be dropped in different editions of the newspaper. Also omit descriptions of the edition from the name of the newspaper if it is cited as the author.

Instead of using a parenthetical citation, you can include some of the elements of the citation in your text. You should still give a full citation to the article in your reference list.

19.4.1 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.
