Treat “the” as part of a publication’s title (capping, italicizing, including in quotes, as appropriate) only when so treated by the publication in question; check the masthead to be sure. In Columns “the” within a sentence is not capitalized unless there is also a change of typeface (e.g., to italics) or a quotation mark to cue the reader.
