How Do You Cite a Newsletter in MLA?

An article about citing newsletters in MLA can be divided into two parts: the first part is about how to cite a single issue of a newsletter, and the second part is about how to cite an entire series of issues of a newsletter.

When citing a single issue of a newsletter, you would follow the same rules that you would for any other journal article. For example, you would use the title of the issue, followed by the author’s last name, followed by the year of publication. For example: “Smith, A.

(2013). The benefits of writing newsletters.”.

If you are citing an entire series of issues of a newsletter, however, there are some additional considerations that you will need to take into account. For example, each issue in a series will have its own title and cover page.

You will also need to include information about which issue corresponds to which month in the series (for example, if the series contains six issues, each one would have a different title and cover page), as well as information about which article on that particular issue corresponds to which month in the series (for example, if an article is on page 10 of Issue 1 but is on page 2 of Issue 6 in the series, then you would include “10” in the parentheses when citing that article).

Finally, when citing an entire series of issues of a newsletter, you should also include information about where to find the online version of each issue (if available). For example: “Smith A. (2013).
