• Newspapers are often divided into sections, each of which begins the pagination with page 1. Therefore, the newspaper pagination should include the section designation (usually a letter) as well as the page number. Online newspapers may not have page numbers. Newspaper articles are more likely to have URLs than DOIs.
• Include the specific date as well as year.
• Include the specific page or section numbers if appropriate.
