Follow this format for articles from news or other websites that do not have associated daily or weekly newspapers, e.g. The AV Club, BBC News, Bloomberg, CNN, HuffPost, MSNBC, Reuters, Salon, and Vox.
The title of the review itself is italics and in sentence case, because the review is a webpage on a website.
The title of the website is in regular font and in title case, or how you see it written, e.g. write CNN, not Cnn.
For articles from newspaper and magazine websites available online, but also still have associated daily or weekly newspapers, such as The New York Times, use the newspaper article category.
