Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

In addition to individual, signed articles, newspapers include many other types of pieces, some of which require special treatment in citations.

Regular columns. Many regular columns carry headlines as well as column titles. You may use either both or, to save space, the column title alone (in roman type, not enclosed in quotation marks, and capitalized headline style).

Letters to the editor. Cite published letters to the editor generically, without headlines.

Articles in supplements. Treat articles from Sunday “magazine” supplements or other special sections as you would magazine articles (see 19.3).

Articles published online. For online newspapers, follow the guidelines for articles in print newspapers. In addition, include the URL and the date you accessed the material (see 15.4.1). Note that a URL alone is not sufficient; you must provide the full facts of publication, as far as they can be determined, so that a reader can search for the source even if the URL changes.
