Is the title of a magazine article italicized?
No. Sections of published workschapters, magazine articles, acts within a play, editorials, etc.are placed within quotation marks rather than italicized: Chapter 6 of A Thousand Days, entitled “Prelude to the New Frontier,”presents an analysis of the economic and political issues leading to President Kennedy’s election. Last month’s National Geographic featured an article by Pan Wenshi of Beijing University entitled “New Hope for China’s Giant Pandas.” The editorial “Keep Light Rail on Track,” which appeared in this morning’s edition of the Tribune, presents a solid case in support of the proposed rapid-transit program.
