    "author": "الرياض: محمد الحميدي",
    "content": "\"في وقت تتهيأ فيه السعودية لإطلاق الإصدار الثاني من العملات المعدنية، لا تزال التداول بمبالغ النقود المصنوعة من المعدن مستقرة عن...",

    "source": "aawsat",
    "title": "\"«العملة المعدنية» السعودية تسجل انحسارًا تاريخيًا وسط تهيؤ لإطلاق الإصدار الثاني\"...",
    "url": "\"http://aawsat.com/home/article/411671/«العملة-المعدنية»-السعودية-تسجل-انحسارًا-تاريخيًا-وسط-تهيؤ-لإطلاق-الإصدار-الثاني\"..."
}
```

### Data Fields

The data fields are the same among all splits.

- **`source`** (str): The source newspaper.
- **`url`** (str): The full URL from which the article was extracted.
- **`date_extracted`** (str): The timestamp of the date on which the article was extracted. It has the format `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`.

- **`title`** (str): The title of the article. Contains missing values that were replaced with an empty string.
- **`author`** (str): The author of the article. Contains missing values that were replaced with an empty string.
