Another question on citing newspapers

scribbler
Not to be overly punctilious but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts/tricks for citing an Associated Press article that appears in say the LA Times or NY Times. No byline except the wire service. A parenthetical perhaps, inserted by hand into the endnote? Do others think it important to indicate in the note that the source was the wire vs. staff? Thanks.

    You can cite the agency as an author if no staff write is given -- I don't think there are fixed rules on this, so it's really more a matter of taste/value judgment

    Ah and I see that there's even a little toggle to switch author from two fields to one--which I have done before because when I start typing Assoc. . . it pops up from an earlier entry. Live and re-learn evidently.
