NOTE: Newspapers and online news sources are two different types of resource. Online news resources (e.g. CNN or Bloomberg) are not typically associated with daily, weekly, or monthly newspapers and are thus cited as online resources as opposed to periodicals. The same principle applies to magazines. See the Citing Online Resources tab for more information.
