Is a fictitious newspaper, for example, ABCD Times, italicized in a fiction book?
Obviously, The New York Times, a real newspaper, would be italicized in a fiction book, but the question is about whether a fictitious newspaper in a fiction book would be italicized?

Also, if someone were to speak. "I read The New York Times," Mel said. Would the newspaper be italicized if it is in dialogue/in quotes?

No, this question has not been answered before. The following link has to do with company/brand names, so please don't reference me to it. Do you italicize fictional company names?

Yes, I posted these questions before, but I've been having trouble with creating an account/using an old account, so I started from scratch all over again and created a new account. Time is of the essence!

If you're not using italics and you're including a publication name inside dialogue, you would need to enclose it within single quotes.

I find that to be cumbersome. Using italics instead is an easy way to avoid extra punctuation marks.

My vote is to always italicize real and fake publications within books.
