Do you capitalize or italicize the word before titles of newspapers when tiltle is used in a sentence?

You do not capitalize or italicize the word "the" before titles of newspapers when the title is used in a sentence.

Here are some examples:

* Correct: I read about the event in *The New York Times*.

* Incorrect: I read about the event in *The The New York Times*.

* Incorrect: I read about the event in *the New York Times*.

The same rule applies to other articles like "a" and "an".

Note: The title of the newspaper itself should be italicized.
