Generally, cite newspaper and magazines articles only within the text. If a newspaper article has no author listed, cite the title of the newspaper in italics. If a reference list entry is needed, repeat the year along with the date of publication. If the article is accessed through a database include the URL. For assessment tasks, students may be required to include access dates for online sources.
