Component in React does not change after state change (componentDidMount fetch)
I'm following a tutorial to make a news app, I'm getting data from newapi, my code is the same as in the tutorial, but after I update the state (this.state.articles), my component doesn't change. I used the setState function, I tried logging the state in the console, the state looked fine after the update, the render method ran, but nothing changed, something may have gone wrong
My code/component
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import NewsItem from './NewsItem'
export default class News extends Component {
articles = [
