Citation Examples

General Format

Name of Group OR Author, A.A. (Year, Month Day). Content of the post up to the first 20 words [Description of audiovisuals]. Facebook. https://xxxxxx

 

Helpful Tip: Use (n.d.) for "no date" in place of a specific date if you're citing a full page rather than an individual Facebook post. In this case, be sure to share the retrieval date at the end of your citation. That format will look like this:

 

Name of Group OR Author, A.A. (n.d.). Home [Facebook page]. Facebook. Retrieved December 20, 2021, from https://xxxxxx

For Example

National Geographic. (2021, December 18). These two Ethiopian wolves are the only survivors of a 23-member pack—but there's still hope. [Video]. Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/natgeo/videos/10158811549863951 This link opens in a new window
