Writing a thesis is undoubtedly a challenging task that demands dedication, meticulous research, and

proficient writing skills. Among the many hurdles that researchers encounter, citing sources correctly
remains a critical aspect, especially when incorporating newspaper articles into a research paper.

Newspapers are valuable resources for scholarly research, offering insights, opinions, and data on
various topics. However, citing newspaper articles in a research paper requires attention to detail and
adherence to citation guidelines to maintain academic integrity and credibility.

To cite a newspaper article in a research paper, one must consider the specific citation style required
by the academic institution or publisher. Common citation styles include APA, MLA, Chicago, and
Harvard, each with its own set of rules for citing newspapers.

Generally, when citing a newspaper article in APA style, the following format is used:

Author(s). (Year, Month Day). Title of the article. Title of the Newspaper, page range.

In MLA style, the format is slightly different:

Author(s). "Title of the Article." Title of the Newspaper, Day Month Year, page range.

Chicago style offers variations for both print and online newspaper articles:

Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Newspaper (City), Month Day, Year.

With the prevalence of digital media, citing online newspaper articles requires additional information
such as the URL and access date.

Despite the availability of citation guidelines, many researchers find the process of citing newspaper
articles challenging due to the nuances of different citation styles and the complexity of source
details.
