Chicago Manual of Style

Notes and bibliographic entries for newspapers should include the following:

• name of the author (if listed),
  • If a news service is listed (e.g., Associated Press) instead of a named author, use the news service as the author.
• headline or column heading in title case (i.e., Capitalize All of the Major Words). If the title is divided by a period, convert the period to a colon. If that makes the title too unwieldly, use only the first part of the title.
• newspaper name (italicized)
  • Omit the word "The" if it is the first world of the newspaper title.
  • For newspapers that are not well-known, include the city name and province/state in parentheses after the title. This information is not italicized.
• month (often abbreviated), day, and year.
• Since issues may include several editions, page numbers are usually omitted.
• If an online edition of a newspaper is consulted, include the URL at the end of the citation.
