Citations

Link for Chicago Manual of Style for Citations:

• I prefer footnotes to endnotes
• Internet news articles should be cited in footnotes, and not the reference section
• Do not put “n.p.n.d.” in your references
• Any quotes longer than five lines should be put in block quotes. As a rule, this should be extremely limited
