Newspapers
Footnote Style Notes
- If there is no article title, give the article type (not in quotation marks). For example: Obituary, Editorial.
- Omit 'The' from newspaper titles.
- Add a city name if the newspaper is not well known, e.g. Examiner (Launceston).
- Page numbers are usually omitted.
- Details of the edition can be added to a note or bibliographical entry. For example: final edition, Midwest edition.
- If the paper is published in several sections, the section number or name may be given.
- To cite an article consulted online, include the URL.
Bibliography Notes
- Newspaper articles are more commonly cited in the running text rather than as a note.
- A list of works cited need not list newpaper items if these have been documented in the text.
- No corresponding entry in a bibliography would be needed for the following citation (nor would it be necessary in such a case to include information about edition or, for an article consulted online, a URL).
