The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" yesterday (March 29) published an article titled, "For the two missing girls, the state requests the establishment of an investigative commission."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title is a generalization, which does not make it clear which country is being referred to.
The news is clarified only in the content, where it is announced that "The lower house of the Italian parliament, unanimously, with 245 votes, has approved the formation of a parliamentary commission to investigate the fates of two girls who disappeared 40 years ago."
Knowing that this portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), this may misinform readers that this event occurred in our country, Kosovo.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
The lower house of the Italian parliament, unanimously, with 245 votes, has approved the formation of a parliamentary commission to investigate the fates of two girls who disappeared 40 years ago.
According to public broadcaster ANSA, the decision of the Chamber of Deputies must now be approved by the Senate.
Link to the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
That the news has nothing to do with events that occurred in our country is also shown by this article published in the Italian media "Ansa", to which the portal "Kosova-sot.info" itself refers in the article. (see here)
Analyze:
The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article that reports on the establishment of an investigative commission for two girls who disappeared 40 years ago in Italy.
Knowing that the medium in question is registered in our country and the majority of its audience are Albanian speakers from Kosovo, the title placed on the article implies that the news item is about an event that occurred in our country.
After fact-checking based on the work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article 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.
