Within the text of your paper, you may write, according to the Columbus Dispatch Newspaper, . . . . .
Here is an example of an in-text newspaper article citation:
Rith, Robert R. “English Help.” The Columbus Dispatch 11 Oct.-Nov. 1999, Noon ed., sec. C: 3+.
This means that Robert R Rith wrote an article entitled English Help for the Columbus Dispatch on 11 October 1999, for the noon addition (if the newspaper has more than one edition, like morning, noon, late) the article was in section C and it is on page 3 and 15 (The plus sign means it does not continue on the next page, other wise, if it were written on pages 3 and 4, write 3-4.
I hope this helps you. Here is an MLA site:
