The content was published today (September 23) on the official "EuroNews Albania" television channel on Youtube.
ÇIs there something wrong with the content?
The video features an interview with columnist Sadri Ramabaja, whose statements confirm that the information presented in the headline was obtained.
However, the title of the video does not specify the author of the statements, presented as information.
EuroNews Albania has titled the video material published on Youtube "'Secret Pact for Kosovo' Almost Splits the Country""
In journalistic practices, title It is a climax of the writing and should contain the topic of the text.
The title of the alleged content contains information about a secret plan for the division of Kosovo. Hibrid.info has found that the material displays the opinion of Ramabaja in an interview, who expressed his position on the existence of a secret plan for the division of the country, during the time when Hashim Thaçi was the president of the country.
What this means is that the title does not clarify that the statement came from Ramabaja and lacks the temporal context of the information claimed by him.
