MLA Style: In-Text Citations (8th Ed., 2016) – basic in-text citing

Sidenote:  For your cited commentary, we read/viewed both print sources and video sources.  If the way the piece was published is video (not print), you’ll need to in-text cite using timestamp information instead of page numbers.  See below:

Time-based media sources

When creating in-text citations for media that has a runtime, such as a movie or podcast, include the range of hours, minutes and seconds you plan to reference. For example: (00:02:15-00:02:35).  (Purdue OWL MLA Style and Formatting Guide)
