Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

            Newspaper footnotes/endnotes share much of the same structure as journals and magazines. The author, headline, publisher, and especially the day/year are all central elements to a proper newspaper note-style citation. If the online edition of a paper was consulted as the reference, a URL should be included at the end of the citation.

Note-style citations of newspaper should include most or all of the following elements

1. Authors: Full name(s) of authors (Firstname Middlename Lastname).
2. Title: and subtitle of article with all major words capitalized (article name surrounded by quotation marks).
3. Newspaper column: with all major words capitalized (if article is part of regular column) (e.g. citation 2)
4. Newspaper Title: with all major words capitalized (in italicized characters).
5. Publication date: (Month, Day and Year).
6. URL: (for online publications).
