Bibtex for Newspaper arcticles

[bon bon]

Hi

I need to cite some newspaper articles using Bibtex. I cannot find a
Bibtex classification, i.e. book, article, Unpublished, InProceedings
that is set up to handle citing newspaper articles.
None of the bibtex classifications has a day field, and this is really
important for citing newspaper articles.

What is the best way to cite newspaper articles in tex?

Thanks

The best way is probably to heed the advice in the BibTeX manual about
not taking the field names too seriously. Does something like putting
"June 15th" in the month field work? It should do exactly what you want.

Alternately, you could add a day field and edit your bibliography style
file to include it if present, but that's considerably more work for
very little gain.

Since I was just searching for a similar answer myself, here's the solution that I've settled on:

Select "@MISC" type and then, in the "how published" section, write something as follows:

howpublished = {\textit{The Guardian}, 26 June 2008. Available: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/26/climatechange.scienceofclimatechange [Last accessed: 25 April 2013]},

...

Obviously you can adjust the above example as suits your needs. Still, this worked well for me.

Although I tend to use BibLaTeX these days, which does have proper
support for days, in BibTeX I'd probably use an @Article entry with

month = jun # {~26,},
year = 2008,
