Django variable from Model not outputting value in template

The variable {{ post }} gives a value in my home page, and also allows me to redirect to a post page with the proper ID; however, the page that it is redirected to does not display any value for {{ post }}. I'm not sure what the issue is, I tried to change a multitude of things, I just can't seem to find the problem. How can I get the variable {{ post }} to give an output on other pages?

Here is my index.html, and the articles page:

{% if news_posts %}
<div class="row">
    <div class="large-8 small-12 large-centered column" id="articles">
        <ul class="article_posts">
            {% for post in news_posts %}
                <li id="article_title"><a href="{% url 'articles:post' post.id %}">{{ post.post_title }}</a></li>
                <li id="article_date">Posted {{ post.post_date|timesince }} ago</li>
                <div id="arrow"></div>
                <hr>
                <li id="article_image"><img src="static/media/{{ post.post_image }}" /></li>
                <li id="article_shortdesc">{{ post.post_short_description }}</br><a href="{% url 'articles:post' post.id %}">Read More>>></a></li>
                <hr>
            {% endfor %}
        </ul>   
    </div>
</div>
{% endif %}

the articles template page:

<div class="row">
    <div class="large-8 small-12 large-centered column" id="articles">
        <ul class="article_posts">
                <li id="article_title">{{ post.post_title }}</li>
                <li id="article_date">{{ post.post_date }}</li>
                <hr>
                <li id="article_image"><img src="static/media/{{ post.post_image }}" /></li>
                <li id="article_shortdesc">{{ post.post }}</li>
                <hr>
        </ul>   
    </div>
</div>
