News Article Scraping and JSON Formatting

Job ID: 38601194

Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR

I need a proficient web scraper who is well-versed in using Scrapy to extract news articles from specified websites. The output should be neatly formatted in JSON, without any HTML tags.

You'll be tasked with scraping:
- The title of the articles
- The content of the articles
- The author of the articles
- The publication date

Please note, I only require the extraction of text content, not images or any multimedia elements.
