IN-TEXT NOTE: (Kelly)
Production information (Venue, City. Date.)
Performances, speeches, and broadcast programs (TV or radio) occur at specific
times and places. Their citation formats reflect this. (But list published
recordings or transcripts of these sources like other printed, online, or
recorded works.)
▼
• Are you citing a lecture, reading, or speech? List the speaker and title
of the talk (or Reading of ..., Keynote address, etc.). Then list the name
of the event and its sponsoring group (if applicable), the venue, the
city, and the date. See Models 53, 54
• Are you citing a television or radio program? Begin with the title of
the program, unless you wish to foreground a particular contributor (a
narrator or an actor, for example). After the program title, list secondary
contributors, the broadcasting network, the station, the city,
and the date. See Model 55
• Are you citing a specific episode or segment of a TV or radio program?
Insert the episode or segment title before the program title.
(Note that secondary acknowledgments may apply to the episode or
segment, but not the entire program—place contributors’ names after
the appropriate title.) See Model 56
• Are you citing a dramatic performance? Begin with the title of the
work being performed, unless you wish to foreground a particular contributor
(a scriptwriter or the director, for example). After the title, list
secondary contributors, the performance venue, the city, and the date
of the show. See Model 57
