When using APA style, do I italicize Twitter and Facebook if used in the paper?
Answer
Twitter (or any social media title) should not be italicized, but should be simply capitalized as a proper noun.
Italics are reserved for titles of:
- Books
- Journals
- Magazines
- Films
- TV shows. See the APA Help guide for examples.
