In-text citations of newspaper article with no author?

I am working on a massive research paper for Psychology and found a great article that I incorporated into the paper. As I was drafting the paper, I simply put Smith (2008) as the author because the database did not list an author, but I need to correct this. How would I include the in-text citations of a newspaper article that does not list an author?

1. It depends what style of citation you're using, but I used MLA. This website is great because it'll tell you all the rules: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01 For example, they say this: "Anonymous Work/Author Unknown If the work you are citing to has no author, use an abbreviated version of the work's title. (For non-print sources, such as films, TV series, pictures, or other media, or electronic sources, include the name that begins the entry in the Works Cited page). For example: An anonymous Wordsworth critic once argued that his poems were too emotional ("Wordsworth Is a Loser" 100)."
