Newspapers are perhaps the iconic manifestation of "house style." Several publications have been in print near-continuously since before we had ample standardization of grammar and formats, and are likely the source of several "American" or "British" standards.

If you're writing for an existing publication, inquire with the submission editor for the specific rules they expect of submissions, or examine their printed issues for reference.

If, instead, you're editing a newspaper and want to form a consistent style, consider purchasing the Associated Press Stylebook, which has quoted prices between and for various resources.

To be more clear, there is no universal style for dates, and such varies both per-country and per-publication.
