• For newspapers that are online only, there won’t be page numbers to cite, but you should include a paragraph reference
• Newspaper titles are italicised. 
• If the article is from a particular section, include the name of the section after the title, i.e. ‘Education’ or ‘Life and Style’
• If you are referencing a newspaper with a very common name is it helpful to include the place of publication in brackets after the name, e.g. Sun (Sydney)
• An 'Article from the internet' is different to an 'Article from a database'. An 'Article from a database' is the same article which appeared in the print version of the newspaper. An 'Article from the internet' needs to be cited differently because web versions can be updated where the print version cannot. E.g. an article from the The Age online might be an updated version to the article that was in the printed newspaper.
