OfflineCiting social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc) in APA style
As more and more of our "news" is broadcast via social media websites, it becomes important to be able to document and reference these types of communication.

Athar, Sohaib (ReallyVirtual). "Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)." 1 May…
