Help fixing Chicago Tribune Recipe

[nikkumba]

I have used calibre for years and love it, but I am new to using calibre to add news to my kindle. I would really like to get the Chicago Tribune, but it does not seem to fetch the news correctly. I tried other recipes, like NYT and CNN, and they work great. The Chicago Tribune, however, is pretty much a blank book with a couple headers. I am not a programmer, so I have failed, so far, by tinkering with the code. I uploaded the "fetched" newspaper I get for the Chicago Tribune.

I tried updating the links in the recipe with RSS links I found online but that did not help.

feeds = [
('Breaking news', 'https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/rss2.0.xml'),
('Trending news', 'https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/trending/rss2.0.xml'),
('Opinion', 'https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/rss2.0.xml'),
('Business news', 'https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/rss2.0.xml'),
('Sports', 'https://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/rss2.0.xml'),
('Arts and Entertainment',
'https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/rss2.0.xml'),
('Life & Style',
'https://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/rss2.0.xml'),
]

Once again, I am not a programmer so I do not really know what I am doing.
Please help a fellow Calibre supporter!

Thanks!

Thanks Kovid! You are awesome!

The only hiccup is that the file is over 60 MB (too big to automatically email to my kindle)

I figured all the images were probably the issue. I wasn't sure how to reduce the number of articles it downloaded so I just deleted what I thought is the image part:

def preprocess_html(self, soup):
for img in soup.findAll('img', attrs={'data-baseurl': True}):
img['src'] = img['data-baseurl']
return soup

It is now under 2 MBs and it transferred to my kindle just fine. Thanks again for your help!
