Style notes for this reference type

  • Newspaper names are italicised. Use maximal capitalisation - capitalise the first and all major words of the publication's name.
  • Hyperlink article title to online article if not behind paywall.
  • Include date accessed after publication title.
  • If an article continues towards the end of the publication provide both sets of page numbers, e.g. :14-15, 32.
  • Article titles are contained within single quotation marks and are not italicised. Use minimal capitalisation - capitalise only the first word of the article title and any proper nouns. Include both article title and subtitle regardless of length e.g. 'Still moving: between cinema and photography'.
