MLA Format

Here’s the MLA format for citing an online news source:

Template

Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of the Article." Title of the Website, Publisher (if different from website title), Publication Date, URL. Accessed Day Month Year.

Example

Smith, John. "Global Leaders Discuss Climate Crisis at UN Summit." BBC News, BBC, 5 Dec. 2024, www.bbc.com/news/world-654321. Accessed 9 Dec. 2024.

Key Notes

• If there is no author, start with the title of the article.

• Use the publication date provided. If no date is given, write “n.d.” (no date).

• Always include the URL, but omit "https://" or "http://".

• Include an access date if the content is likely to change over time.
