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
