how to use suspend properly over deferred in kotlin coroutines?

Question

I am developing news app and I have implemented kotlin coroutines since Retrofit 2.6.0 has been released with support for suspend functions. I have implemented suspend function over deferred function and followed this tutorial but I am getting empty data I want to know where I am making mistake? where I have to make correction to show data correctly. on stacktrace getting following exception kotlinx.coroutines.JobCancellationException: Job was cancelled; job=JobImpl{Cancelling}@677a578

I have define my ending point followingly in SportInterface.kt

@GET("v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=da331087e3f3462bb534b3b0917cbee9")
     suspend fun getNewsAsync(): SportNewsResponse

previously it was below

 @GET("v2/top-headlines?country=us&apiKey=da331087e3f3462bb534b3b0917cbee9")
     fun getNewsAsync(): Deferred<SportNewsResponse>

and getting result in NewsRepository following way.

interface NewsRepository {
    // Suspend is used to await the result from Deferred
   suspend fun getNewsList(): UseCaseResult<List<Article>>
}


@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
class NewsRepositoryImpl(private val sportsNewsApi: SportNewsInterface) : NewsRepository {
    override suspend fun getNewsList(): UseCaseResult<List<Article>> {

        return try {
            val result = sportsNewsApi.getNewsAsync().articles
            UseCaseResult.Success(result)
        } catch (ex: Exception) {
            UseCaseResult.Error(ex)
        }
    }
}

and below my MainViewModel.kt

@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
class MainViewModel(val newsRepository: NewsRepository) : ViewModel(), CoroutineScope {
    // Coroutine's background job
    val job = Job()
    // Define default thread for Coroutine as Main and add job
    override val coroutineContext: CoroutineContext = Dispatchers.Main + job

    val showLoading = MutableLiveData<Boolean>()
    val sportList = MutableLiveData <List<Article>>()
    val showError = SingleLiveEvent<String>()

    fun loadNews() {
        // Show progressBar during the operation on the MAIN (default) thread
        showLoading.value = true
        // launch the Coroutine
        launch {
            // Switching from MAIN to IO thread for API operation
            // Update our data list with the new one from API
            val result = withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
                newsRepository?.getNewsList()
            }
            // Hide progressBar once the operation is done on the MAIN (default) thread
            showLoading.value = false
            when (result) {

                is UseCaseResult.Success<*> -> {
                    sportList.value = result.data as List<Article>
                }
                is Error -> showError.value = result.message
            }
        }
    }

    override fun onCleared() {
        super.onCleared()
        // Clear our job when the linked activity is destroyed to avoid memory leaks
        job.cancel()
    }
}

below my SportNewsResponse.kt data class

data class SportNewsResponse(
    val articles: List<Article>,
    val status: String,
    val totalResults: Int
)

below Article.kt

@Entity(tableName = "news_table")
data class Article(@ColumnInfo(name = "author")val author: String,
                   val content: String,
