For a Works Cited page, your citations need to be double spaced and have a hanging indent. A hanging indent just means that every line after the first in your citation is indented 0.5".
In Microsoft Word (PC or Mac), highlight your citation and right click on it. Select "Paragraph" in the menu that appears, then under "Indentation" click on the Special drop down and select "Hanging". Make sure the "By" field is set to 0.5".
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a set of letters, numbers, and symbols used to permanently identify an item. The DOI can be used to retrieve an article from the web. In academia, DOIs are found attached to most digital articles. They provide a stable link back to the article, and are preferable to URLs as a source location.
For magazines, list the day in the publication date if available. If not, list the month and year, abbreviating the month.
Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Periodical, Day Month Year, pages.

Newspapers follow the same format, but include the section letter (if applicable) in the page numbers. If more than one edition is available for a given date, identify the edition after the title. If the newspaper is less well-known or local, include the city name in brackets after the title.
