To make your life a little easier, I’ve compiled a quick list of how to cite Mass Comm Theory if you need to in the various style format:
APA
In-Text Citation: (Davie, 20XX)
Where 20XX equals the year the blog post was written.
References:
Davie, G. (Year, Month Day {of post}). Title of specific post [Web log post].
Retrieved from URL of specific post
Example:

In-Text Citation: (Davie, 2010)
References:
Davie, G. (2010, March 12). Cultivation Theory: How Violence Might Affect Us [Web log post]. Retrieved from
https://masscommtheory.com/2010/03/12/cultivation-theory-how-violence-might-affect-us/
MLA
In-Text Citation: (Davie 20XX)
Where 20XX equals the year the blog post was written – only difference from APA is that no comma is used.
References:

Example:

References:

Assuming the Dec. 16, 2013 is the day it was accessed.
MLA no longer requires a URL to be posted.
Hi I am trying to find an author and date for Spiral of Silence but I can’t.
You would use my name (Gavin Davie) and the date you accessed the post.
Hi I’m trying to get the exact date, you published or posted the Framing theory, it’s important I use that date instead of the day I accessed the post like you advised. Can you please tell me the date it was posted?
3/17/2011 – hope that helps!
Hi, i can’t find the date your article about media framing was posted. Thanks

I’m trying to cite your post on Framing Theory, but there’s no date or author listed. How do I cite it in APA?
Dan – you’d use the citation method above (I’m the author) and you can use the date you accessed the post.
