Using OSCOLA: Newspaper articles

Cite a newspaper article in the order:

Author, 'Title' Newspaper (City of publication, Full date) page number

Example:

  • F Gibb, 'Prison is not the right place for minor criminals' The Times (London, 11 May 2006) 7

Tips

  • If the author is not named, insert two joined em dashes (--) instead.
  • Where the reference is to an editorial, the author is cited as Editorial.
  • Add the country of publication after the city, if it is not obvious.
  • If the article is sourced from the web and there is no page number available, provide the website address and date of access
