General tips
- Include date DO NOT include: volume or issue numbers
- Do not use introductory articles when citing newspapers (e.g. Vancouver Sun not The Vancouver Sun).
- The name of the city must either be in the newspaper title or added to the title in square brackets (e.g., Telegraph-Journal [Saint John]; Province [Vancouver]), unless the paper is published nationally
- Newspapers are produced in many editions and formats and page numbers are not required. However for a print edition you may include it
- If the article is on consecutive pages, specify the page range (e.g. 4-6). If not (for example, if the article begins on page 5 and continues on page 15), follow the first page number by a plus sign (e.g. 5+)
