Hi Kirstin, ESM says: "When a paper carries either a city or state in its masthead title (but not both), put the missing place name in parentheses within the title. If the title carries no place name, add a place name in parentheses, setting the added material in italics also." She gives the following example:
1. “Frank Austin, Sr.,” obituary, Burlingame (Kansas) Enterprise, 19 May 1898, p. 5, col. 4. I use Legacy's master source for obituaries (original, microfilm or print) and insert the state and/or city in the title, as needed. I ignore the filed for City if that's in the newspaper title.

The way Legacy does it (and Elizabeth Shown Mills): "Article Title," The (Tiny Town) Times (in italics), date published. So I have no idea where this particular times is from so I add the city, but if the city is one of millions like it in all 50 states, you also need the state. I don't like to assume anything. If I don't know where a particular newspaper is from I'm going to assume my reader doesn't either. So why is it not cited like any other publication? Like so: "Article Title," The Times (in italics) (City, State: date of publication). Also, is there a newsgroup just for citing genealogy? -- Kirstin Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
