*'''publisher''': The [[publisher]] that publishes the news source. For news sources commonly written without italics, such as [[Al Jazeera]] and [[BBC News]], this parameter should be used in place of '''work'''. For major print publications (which will have italicized titles), this parameter is commonly omitted. In some instances (e.g. many UK newspapers), the publisher is the company or organization that owns the publication. In all American newspapers, the publisher is an individual person, whose name will be found on the [[masthead (publishing)|masthead]]. There is never any need to cite this person in a reference. For print publications, this parameter should normally be left blank. | *'''publisher''': The [[publisher]] that publishes the news source.
