The Modern Language Association, or MLA, has a specific way for citing newspaper articles in a document. If there is a by-line for the article you want to cite, start by writing the author's last name, a comma, and then their first name. Follow the first name with a period. Then write the full title of the article along with any subtitle, followed by a period. After the name of the article, identify the newspaper in which the article appeared in italics, and then add a period. After the name of the newspaper, type the date the article was published using day-month-year format, and follow it with a period. Finish the cite by including where you found it. If you found the article on an online newspaper database, italicize the name of the database. If you found the article on the newspaper's website, provide a direct permalink to the article without the beginning part of the URL. End the citation with a period.
