The APA style [recommends](http://www.apastyle.org/learn/faqs/web-page-no-author.aspx) the following for citing anything from web sites (which would include any claim you're reporting from one):

> New child vaccine gets funding boost. (2001). Retrieved March 21, 2001, from [http://news.ninemsn.com.au/health/story\_13178.asp](http://news.ninemsn.com.au/health/story_13178.asp)
> 
> Cite in text the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title) and the year. Use double quotation marks around the title or abbreviated title.: ("New Child Vaccine," 2001).

Include the URL you used (I would make it an active link if you're writing on the web) and the date you retrieved it (because the web is not static).

Whether you're directly quoting a source or summarizing its contents, it's important to cite that source. This helps readers verify your claims.
