Format for bibliography entries
Elements, punctuation & capitalisation
Newspapers are more commonly cited in notes than in bibliographies. Newspaper items need not be listed in the bibliography if these have been documented in the text. If a bibliography entry were included it would appear as follows:
Author (surname, given name). "Title of Article." Title of Newspaper, Date. URL (if consulted online).
Example - bibliography entry
Ramisetti, Kirthana. "Joni Mitchell suffered aneurysm and cannot speak, David Crosby says." New York Daily News, June 27, 2015, 12:53 p.m. EDT. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/david-crosby-joni-mitchell-suffered-aneurysm-speak-article-1.2273408.
Style notes for this reference type
- See Manual 14.191.
- In circumstances where news stories are unfolding over time, it may be appropriate to include a time-stamp where one is included with the article. List the time as posted, with the timezone as appropriate (i.e. 3:55 pm EST). See Manual 14.191.
- In the bibliography (but not in the footnotes), invert the name of the first author only (i.e. surname, given name).
- If there is no article title, give the article type (not in quotation marks). For example: Obituary, Editorial.
- Omit ‘The’ from newspaper titles.
- To cite an article consulted online, include the URL.
- 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.
