Note: APA recommends using the URL of the newspaper's home page rather than the URL for the article to avoid nonworking URLs (p. 201). In addition, APA recommends using the newspaper's home page instead of database information if you retrieved the article from a library database (p. 191-192). You may want to check with your professor about this citation guideline.
