I'm working out of a Jupyter Notebook and having an issue with newspaper unable to pull down anything from newsweek. I can get it running on Goose, but I wanted to have a backup in case Goose ever failed.
I have tried other websites like Fox, Yahoo, and CNN, all those work fine. So NewsWeek is an isolated issue.
from newspaper import Article
url = 'https://www.newsweek.com/mike-huckabee-blasts-cnns-axelrod-
calling-daughter-trump-press-secretary-sarah-sanders-1444184'
article = Article(url)
article.download()
article.html
article.parse()
article.text
Article `download()` failed with 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url:

You likely solved this issue already, but it is directly related to not passing a user agent when you request the article with Newspaper.
from newspaper import Article
