News articles generally put citations in the form of a quote.

"The firestorms are challenging, but we don't foresee shutting down electrical service to areas near the uncontained areas at this time," Javier Sanchez, operations manager for Golden State Electric & Gas, told reporters at a press conference this morning.

If you're reporting on things not as timely, and where a direct quote isn't important or even useful to have, you can still say things like "according to \_\_\_" or "in their latest white paper, \_\_\_\_ company says..."

Of course, the opinion that really counts is that of your teacher. Ask her/him how to handle it.
