How do you cite a newspaper article when there is no author?

According to the APA Publication Manual, this is the correct way to reference a daily newspaper article, no author

Example:
New drug appears to sharply cut risk of death from heart failure. (1993, July 15) The Washington Post, p. A12.

• Alphabetize works with no author by the first significant word in the title.
• In text, use a short title for the parenthetical citation: ("New Drug," 1993).
• Precede page numbers for newspaper articles with p. or pp.
