Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide

News & Magazine Citation Overview

Articles from newspapers or news sites, magazines, blogs, and the like are cited similarly. Titles of magazine or newspaper articles are treated like titles of journal articles: they are capitalized headline-style, set in roman, and placed in quotation marks. The date, being an essential element in the citation, is not enclosed in parentheses. Page numbers, if any, can be cited in a note but are omitted from a bibliography entry. If you consulted the article online, include a URL or the name of the database.
