HIBRID

The portal "kosovasot.info" has published an article titled "For the first time, no Covid victims reported in 24 hours."

After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that with this established title, "kosova-sot.info" has a tendency to misinform readers, as the event is related to the state of Portugal.

Knowing that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, and by giving it this general title, it is very easy to be misinformed by implying that the event is about Kosovo.

Also, the illustrative photo of the article is noticeable as having been taken in hospitals in Kosovo or surrounding countries, as it can be seen that a Kosovo product (drink) is found in the hospital environment.

Excerpt from the text of the article published on "kosova-sot.info":

Portugal has reported no deaths in 24 hours for the first time since August, according to authorities. The death toll so far is 16,965. However, the number of confirmed cases rose by 196, bringing the total to 834,638. Portugal imposed strict measures early in the pandemic, keeping the spread of the virus under control compared to Spain. By the end of May 2020, Portugal had recorded 1,300 deaths, compared to 28,600 in Spain.

Hibrid.info has managed to identify another detail that argues that the photograph used in this article was taken in Kosovo hospitals. The identified detail is a product (fruit juice) produced by a Kosovar manufacturer (Fruti), which could hardly have been exported to Portugal, the country that is discussed in the content of this article.

Analyze:

The portal "kosova-sot.info" used a report from the Portuguese state, which states that there have been no victims as a result of the coronavirus in the last 24 hours.

The title of this article does not clarify which country it is referring to, and knowing that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, it could very easily misinform them into thinking that it is about Kosovo.

Even with the placed photograph, there is a tendency to misinform readers, as it has been noted that it is about a hospital space in Kosovo. Therefore, neither the title nor the photograph correspond to the content of the text, as it does not indicate that it is about Portugal.

After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it appears that this article is considered "clickbait" and "misinformation".


Reasoning:

The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.

A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of information accuracy.
