How do I cite a source in-text that doesn’t have page numbers in Chicago Style?

Answer

Sources such as newspapers,* magazines, and webpages that do not have page numbers would not have page numbers in the footnotes. 

 

Example: 

  1. Author First Name Author Last Name, “Article Title,” Source Title, Date.  

1.  Victoria Brenan, “Urban Red Foxes Show Similarities to Domesticated Dogs,” Herald, 2020.

 

*If a newspaper does have page numbers, do not include them in footnotes.

 

If you have a Journal Article that has an article number, rather than page numbers, please refer to How do I cite a journal article that only has an article number in Chicago Style?
