I would love it if there were a .last_updated propperty for newspaper articles, in addition to .publish_date. For instance, the publish_date propperty for this article would be datetime.datetime(2023, 9, 8, 13, 45, tzinfo=tzoffset(None, 7200)), which is correct in that the article was first published then, but it does not reflect the fact that the article was last updated on 29.09.2023, 14:42.

My personal use case involves tracking news articles that were published during various stages of the passing of German laws (e.g. the interval from when the first draft of the law is presented until the first time it is discussed in parliament, then from that until the second discussion in parliament, etc). Obviously, that does not work particularly well if the articles may contain information that actually pertains to later stages of the law's enactment, because the articles were published in one stage, but then later updated to include information from the next stage as well. I have to imagine there are many other use cases for which this would also be a problem.
