The title and photo suggest that the 2-year-old victim is from Kosovo.

HIBRID

The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "A 2-year-old girl loses her life to Covid-19".

After verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that with this title, this portal has a tendency to misinform readers, as the event is related to the state of Italy.

Considering that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, such a generalizing title could very easily misinform readers by implying that the event took place in Kosovo.

Also, this article contains an inappropriate photograph showing part of a banner that reads in Albanian "Ambulance for Coronavirus" located at the University Clinical Center.

Excerpt from the article published on "Kosova-sot.info":

Italy, due to the spread of the Omicron variant, has recorded a large number of Covid infections in recent weeks.

Recently, a 2-year-old girl who had been admitted to a Rome hospital the day before lost her life as a result of Covid.

Local media reports that the little girl from Catanzaro was transported by an Air Force C-130J to Ciampino, but did not survive.

Hibrid.info below brings you the same photo used by several online media outlets, which have reported on the number of cases of Covid-19 infections in Kosovo. (see here and here)

To further clarify this fact, Hibrid.info brings you the same photo taken from a different angle, where the "Coronavirus Ambulance" banner, placed at QKUK, is fully visible. (see here)


Analyze:

The portal "kosova-sot.info" has published an article about Italy, where it is reported that a 2-year-old girl has lost her life as a result of Covid-19. While the title 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 through the placed photograph, there is a tendency to misinform readers, as it shows the banner in Albanian "Ambulance for Coronavirus" located at the QKUK. Therefore, neither the title nor the photograph correspond to the content of the text, as it does not indicate that it is about the event that occurred in Italy.

After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, this article is rated as "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.
