If the city is included in the title i.e. New York Times, would the city be treated like the name of the paper i.e. in quotes or italicized?

The paper's name is actually 'The New York Times' so, the entire thing would be italicized. At least IMHO.
This is different from ships, for example, where the proper way is USS Enterprise or HMS Ark Royal.
OK, I'll buy that. Perhaps that was not the best example. what about a weekly paper called Weekly from Podunk. Would that be called Podunk Weekly or Podunk Weekly?
Thanks for the info about ship names. Now if I can remember it!!
Podunk weekly or weekly podunk. Either works, but remember that lots or newspapers have merged over the years. The paper in Yakima was The Yakima Herald Republic. Seattle had the PI, which was The Seattle Post Intelligencer.
So, you could easily have The Podunk Weekly Tribune.

Just to clarify, is the newspaper called 'Weekly' or 'Podunk Weekly'? If the latter, I think it looks better in a single font.
I read UK newspapers. They sometimes refer to stories or opinion pieces in their frenemies. I've never seen them use italics.

Newspaper style guides appear to not call for Italics in those situations. Academic writing generally does.
