The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" today (July 19) published an article titled "Shooting in the center, one dead and 4 wounded."
From the fact-check conducted by hibrid.info, it results that with this title, the author may have a tendency to misinform readers, since the event is noted to be related to the city of Paris, while this is not clarified in the title.
Knowing that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, including the fact that the title of the article does not clarify where the event took place, it could very easily misinform readers, making them imply that the event took place in the center of a city in Kosovo.
Also, apart from the title, the photo of the article does not correspond to the content, as it shows police tape with the Albanian text "CRIME SCENE DO NOT PASS".
Excerpt from the article published on "Kosova-sot.info":
A man was shot dead in Paris on the rue Popincourt, in the 11th arrondissement. Four other people were slightly wounded by the shooting, the motive of which is unknown, although it is suspected of money laundering.
One of the two attackers was arrested, while the other managed to lose track.

Analyze:
The title of the article published by "Kosova-sot.info" does not state in which country the event occurred.
Knowing that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, it could very easily misinform them into thinking that the event is about Kosovo.
Also, the photograph placed in the article tends to misinform readers, as it shows police tape, which says in Albanian "CRIME SCENE DO NOT PASS". So, neither the title nor the photograph correspond to the content of the text, as it is not made clear that it is about an event in the city of Paris.
Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info considers this article to be "clickbait".
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.
