I did figure this one out myself, sort of. I settled with adding the title into the content container (it makes no difference when viewed anyway.)

It's done by using postprocess_html(), which gives you the HTML of each article just before heading to the finished paper.

Code:

 def postprocess_html(self, soup, first_fetch):
        #find container, in my case it's a div with the id attribute set to "story" and insert the HTML you wish, in my case the string '<h1>testing</h1>'
        for link_tag in soup.findAll(attrs={"id" : "story"}):
            link_tag.insert(0,'<h1>testing</h1>')
