APA guidelines (7th) ENG: Online Media reference examples

Author, A. (Year, Month Day). Title webpage. Name website. Retrieved Month day, year, from http://xxxx or https://xxxxx

• If the webpage mentions the month and/or day in addition to a year, this is also mentioned in the reference; in the in-the text citation, only the year is mentioned.
• Many webpages without a year or date do have a copyright notice at the bottom of the page, after a © sign. This says nothing about the date of publication of the webpage, only about the year of copyright of the entire website. Therefore, in these cases, please write n.d. (= 'no date').
• When different webpages of a website are accessed, each page with its own URL gets its own entry.

 Examples:

• webpage on a news website

Parenthetical citation: (Toner, 2020)
