17.191Citing in text
Newspapers are more commonly cited in notes or parenthetical references than in bibliographies. A list of works cited need not list newspaper items if these have been documented in the text. No corresponding entry in a bibliography or reference list would be needed for the following citation:
In an article on rampage killers (New York Times, April 10, 2000), Laurie Goodstein and William Glaberson describe the warning signs either missed or unreported by colleagues,
friends, teachers, family members, and others.
If, for some reason, a bibliographic entry were included, it would appear as follows:
- B:
-
Goodstein, Laurie, and William Glaberson. “The Well-Marked Roads to Homicidal Rage.” New York Times, April 10, 2000, national edition, sec. 1.
