Newspaper Articles: Step 2
There are also certain rules which must be followed in your works cited page for newspaper articles.
● When citing the date, list day before month (24 June).
● Use a three-letter abbreviation of the month ( Jan., Mar., Aug.). Do not abbreviate
May, June, or July. Use four letters to abbreviate September (Sept.).
● If there is more than one edition available for that date (early or late edition of the newspaper), identify the edition following the date (26 Jan. 2003, late ed.).
● Include only first page number with a plus sign (+) for the remaining pages.
