Newspaper Article - APA 7

Pachaontas
Hello,
Is it possible in the bibliographie show the section and edition for this type of document?
Because since today we have online and print journals, it's important this information, also in each section (since there is not page number on online).

Because, it does not show that:
Alves, F. (2024, julho 13). As Alterações Climáticas. Diário As Beiras. https://www.asbeiras.pt/

    Technically that's obviously possible, but it's not APA style -- the way APA distinguishes between the online and print edition of a newspaper is via the URL (which should be, if at all possible, the URL of the article, not just of the newspaper homepage as you have it above).

    Thank you so much for your answer.

    But, in Portugal, some times some newspapers, when the article is old (more than 1year) they delete it. So we only have the print screen of it, and I thought on add that information, to complete the information of the article, since the link does not work anymore.

    @adamsmith Do you think that Newspaper edition should be mapped to CSL genre or medium instead of edition? Newspaper edition seems more similar to a format variable than to book edition

    If you add this to Extra
    Medium: Online
    Genre: Opiniao

    You'll get [Opiniao; Online] in the citation. Editing the style, especially one as complex as APA, isn't trivial, so I'd advise against it (and you'd be on your own for that)

    @Pachaontas if link persistence is the concern, I would recommend archiving the page to a web archive like archive.org or perma.cc and citing the archival URL instead of the less permanent one. APA style allows for citation of archival URLs in cases where the page might not otherwise be persistent.

    If you want to force “Online” to appear, you can add to Extra like this:
    genre: Online

    @bwiernik -- I'd leave the mapping alone. Mapping edition to something that's not called edition is very confusing, even though I understand the conceptual logic (it's also different things -- there's online vs. print, but for print time also morning vs. evening, regional editions, etc.)
