The in newspaper and periodical titles


AP says to cap the if that is the way the publisher prefers but lowercase it if the story mentions several newspapers, some of which use the as part of the name and some of which do not. 15th Chicago 8.180 says: “When newspapers and periodicals are mentioned in text, an initial the, even if part of the official title, is lowercased (unless it begins a sentence) and not italicized. Foreign-language titles, however, retain the article in the original language—but only if it is an official part of the title: She reads the Sun-Times every morning. On the ship she read Le Monde.”
