  MLA Format: Newspaper Articles

The following is a sample entry for an article in a newspaper:

Perez-Pena, Richard. "CUNY and California Curbs: Parallels in Approach." New York Times 13 May 1998, late ed.: B8.

(The phrase "late ed." refers to "late edition," since some papers like the Times publish several editions daily.)

For additional information, please see the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th edition) and the MLA style website.
