Newspaper complete date in Chicago author-date format: how to?

Howdy,

I am currently trying to find a way to cite newspaper according to the 15th Edition of the Chicago Style manual, which recommends citing the issue and complete date in the text, using author-date format, without any further need for the in-text newspaper reference to be in the bibliography.

Therefore, something in the published in the New York Times today may appear in the text as:

(New York Times 15 May 2013)

Without any need to have

New York Times, 2013. "Article's Title", 15 may.

In the bibliography.

Is there a simple way to do so, by editing the .csl of the Chicago author-date? So far I figured there would be two things to do:

1) Create an exception in the cs: category author-date format for the article-newspaper type;
2) Create an exception in the cs:bibliography as well. Or, manually delete once the bibliography is genereted. This would prove problematic though, as if I insert another reference the bibliography will self-update and include again these newspaper reference I had erased.

Is this possible at all? I haven't found anything that would do the job in the Style Repository so far.

Thank you for your help,

Best
  • It's not possible to automatically remove items - e.g. of a certain item type - from the bibliography, though you could sort them last, which would make it easy to delete them at the end.

    Generally it might be easiest, though, to just type references that you don't want in the bibliography manually.
