Click on MLA Works Cited: Electronic Sources in the left column, and read and follow directions.
I had already checked that out prior to posting. Unfortunately, there is no explanation for citing the column, unless I'm misunderstanding. That was basically my dilemma on how to cite the column name of a newspaper.
Thank you
In these directions, there seems to be no need to include the title of the column, as long as you have the title of the article in quotation marks and the title of the newspaper in italics.

Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources (Including Online Databases)
Here are some common features you should try and find before citing electronic sources in MLA style. Not every Web page will provide all of the following information. However, collect as much of the following information as possible both for your citations and for your research notes:
Author and/or editor names (if available)
Article name in quotation marks (if applicable)
Title of the Website, project, or book in italics. (Remember that some Print publications have Web publications with slightly different names. They may, for example, include the additional information or otherwise modified information, like domain names [e.g. .com or .net].)
Any version numbers available, including revisions, posting dates, volumes, or issue numbers.
Publisher information, including the publisher name and publishing date.
Take note of any page numbers (if available).
Medium of publication.
Date you accessed the material.
URL (if required, or for your own personal reference; MLA does not require a URL).
To properly cite an article from the New York Times that appeared on the web, including the column name, you can follow the American Psychological Association (APA) citation style. Here's how you can modify the citation you provided to include the column name:
Start by citing the author's last name and initials, followed by the publication date in parentheses. Then, include the title of the article in sentence case (only capitalize the first word and any proper nouns) and place it in quotation marks.
Next, you can add the column name in sentence case, also enclosed in quotation marks. After that, include the italicized title of the newspaper (The New York Times) followed by the publication date in day-month-year format (e.g., 27 May 2014).
To indicate that you accessed the article online, add the phrase "Retrieved from" followed by the full URL or the homepage URL of The New York Times website. Finally, include the date you accessed the article in day-month-year format.
Here's an example of how the modified citation would look:
Leonhardt, D. (2014, May 27). Is College Worth It? Clearly New Data Say. "The Upshot." The New York Times, 27 May 2014. Retrieved from [insert URL] (accessed on 06 October 2014).
Remember to replace [insert URL] with the specific URL of the article.
