How do I write a citation for online newspaper articles that I found? I haev to use MLA format.?

I currently am using 3 articles from NY times, NY Daily News, and News Week. How do I start the citation for my paper? I got these from my schools online library database. As well How do You do the citation with in your essay? Do You have to put something after each quote and where u got it from? Some of the quotes that I use are from the newspaper but it only has one page? how do I cite it. Please help!! THANKS

Okay, if I remember correctly…
It’s..
Author’s Name. Title of article. Name of newspaper. Date it was published. I think, I’m not positive. It’s been awhile.

Also, you cite by putting the authors last name. If page numbers are present it’s (Author’s last name #). If there’s only one page, you just use the author’s last name.

You have to cite after every different source you use. If the quotes are from two different sources, you cite after each one. If the quotes are from the same source, you cite after the final quote. Oh, and when you cite it goes quotation mark, parenthesis (citation), period. As in “My quote is here” (Cite).

I hope that helps.
