Citing the Pew Center

Hello, just a quick question about citing sources. I'm using a dataset from the Pew Center for the Press on a research paper and I'm not 100% sure how I should cite it (AP style).

Any clever paper-writers on PA want to give me a hand?

    I'm pretty sure you'd just cite the original journal you got it from (or website, as the case may be) rather than trying to cite the actual dataset.

    I'd use a combination of "Report from a Private Organization" and "Electronic Books" (from the OWL at Purdue).

    An example of the former:
    American Psychiatric Association. (2000). Practice guidelines for the treatment of patients with eating disorders (2nd ed.). Washington, D.C.: Author.
    An example of the latter:
    De Huff, E.W. Taytay’s tales: Traditional Pueblo Indian tales. Retrieved from http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/dehuff/taytay/
    taytay.html

    The resulting combination:
    The Pew Research Center for People and the Press. (2001, December 6). Post 9-11 attitudes. Retrieved December 8, 2008, from http://people-press.org/reports/pdf/144.pdf
