Depending on what you're trying to do, there's also newspaper3k: https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper

It's quite easy to get "good" extraction for large numbers of outlets/articles without a massive amount of special-casing, as news articles are nearly universally marked up with RDF metadata (partly for Google News's benefit). Article discovery, and perfect parsing, is quite a bit harder. I ended up rolling a new Scrapy project with site-specific parsing code for an academic project as I had quite specific requirements.
