  4. Non-Continuous Pagination • If an article in a magazine or newspaper does not appear on continuous pages (for example, if the essay is interrupted by an ad, or if it is continued elsewhere in the source), in MLA, you may place a “+” after the first consecutive page(s), indicating that the article continues elsewhere. Example:
