(p. 204). If it must be cited, use the following format:

Sun-Times, Late Sports Final Edition, 23 May 1999, Section
2 (Features), 31.
If the
newspaper or several of its issues are used frequently,
note only the newspaper name plus the dates.

CITING
ELECTRONIC WORKS
The only electronic works covered by Turabian are electronic
documents from ERIC (p. 210) and online technical reports
(p.227-29). No examples are given of Internet sites or articles
from full-text online databases. Therefore, the following
citations are based on what is given in Turabian with the
addition of 2 items now uniformly expected in electronic
citations: 1.) The URL of the site; 2.) The access date
(the date in which you accessed the material). The access
date is the last thing listed in the citation.
