How do I cite something I found from Social Media (ex: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) in APA format?

Answer

There are no written guidelines in APA on citing social media. However, the APA style blog (http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/social-media/) suggests:

Facebook:
Title of Facebook Page. (year, month day). Title of post. URL of post [Facebook update]. URL of Facebook page

Twitter:
Title of Twitter Page. (year, month day). Title of post. URL of post [Twitter post]. URL of Twitter page.
