Notes: When citing a newspaper in APA, keep in mind:
APA does NOT require you to include the date of access for electronic sources. If you discovered a
newspaper article via an online database, that information is NOT required for the citation either.
Multiple lines: If the URL runs onto a second line, only break URL before punctuation (except for
http://).
