Text with unknown author? (1 Viewer)

[kloudsurfer]

Hey,

For one of my modules I am using an online newspaper article. However, it does not say who the author of the article is.

What should I do? My teacher said to just write 'author unknown' in my trials, but im not sure I can pull it off in the HSC!

Do you guys think thats ok? Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

(I know it sounds like a dodgy related text since it doesnt even have an author but it isnt! Its from a reputable source and fits my module perfectly!)

I would probably use the publisher site's name. But I think it would also be OK to write "author unknown".

my teacher told me the same thing but i didn't end up using the article in the hsc. i guess if you are really concerned you can always draw a name out of thin air the markers won't have a clue.
