Long Works vs Short Works

What is a Long Work?

The general rule is that self-contained works are underlined, whereas works that are part of a collective work are set in quotation marks.
The general rule is that if the title is on the outside or a part of a continually titled work, it is underlined.
So, for example, the title of a newspaper, television show, or CD album would be underlined.

Other Long Work Examples:

Plays: Hamlet, Rent, Hamilton, Wicked!
Novels (Book): The Hunger Games, Gulliver's Travels, Horton Hears a Who, The Color Purple
Movies: Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Good Will Hunting

Other Long Work Examples:

Magazines: Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Us Weekly
Albums: Evermore, Rumors, After Hours
Newspapers: Richmond Times-Union, New York Times,
TV Shows / Services: WandaVision, Family Matters, Netflix, Hulu

What is a Short Work?

Works that are part of a collective are set in quotation marks.
The general rule is that if the title is on the inside, it is put in quotes.
So, for example: The title of an article from a newspaper, an episode of a television show, or a song from an album would be set in quotation marks.

Other Short Work Examples:

Articles in a magazine or journal: "How to Build a Faster Engine" - MotorTrend Weekly
Chapters in a book: "The Bite of a Raptor" - Jurassic Park
Episode of a tv show: "Now in Color" - WandaVision

Other Short Work Examples:

Songs: "Truth Hurts" - Cuz I Love You - Lizzo
Poetry: "A Dream Within A Dream" - Edgar A. Poe
Short Stories: "The Veldt" - Ray Bradbury
