Bibliography template

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).

  • If there is no article title, include the article type without quotation marks. For example: Editorial. or Obituary for John Smith.
