In Harvard referencing style, an in-text citation for a newspaper article typically includes the author's surname, the year of publication, and the page number if applicable. If there's no page number, you can simply include the author's surname and the year.
Here’s how you can format it:
-
Single Author:
- (Author's Last Name, Year)
- Example: (Smith, 2023)
-
Two Authors:
- (First Author's Last Name & Second Author's Last Name, Year)
- Example: (Smith & Jones, 2023)
-
More than Two Authors:
- (First Author's Last Name et al., Year)
- Example: (Smith et al., 2023)
-
No Author:
- Use the title of the article in quotation marks.
- Example: (“New Policies Introduced,” 2023)
-
Specific Page Number:
- If you're citing a specific part of the article, include the page number.
- Example: (Smith, 2023, p. 12)
Make sure to adjust accordingly depending on the specific requirements of your institution, as there might be slight variations in formatting.
