The information portals "Insajderi.org" and "Kosova-sot.info" have published articles with generalizing titles that do not clarify the location of the event.
"Insajderi.org" yesterday (January 13) published the article titled "20-year-old dies after being attacked by seven dogs."
The news is clarified only in the content, which states that "a 20-year-old woman has died in Britain and another has been injured after being attacked by seven dogs."
Knowing that this information portal has the majority of readers Albanian speakers (see here), this may misinform readers that the event took place in Kosovo.

Another information portal "Kosova-sot.info" on Thursday (January 12) published an article with the general title "Arrested after robbing passengers at the airport."
The content of this article makes it clear that this event took place in Athens, Greece.
"Today, a 41-year-old employee who worked at the "El. Venizelos" airport in Athens was arrested together with his 39-year-old wife, the newspaper "Kosova Sot Online" reports."

The information portal “Kosova-sot.info” is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here). The title may leave room for misinformation among readers, making them think that the event took place at Pristina Airport.
After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info found the article published in the British media "BBC", regarding the death of a woman in her 20s, as a result of a dog attack. (see here)
Also, hibrid.info has found another news item published by the Greek media outlet "Greekreporter.com" regarding the Athens Airport employee who stole passengers' luggage. (see here)
Analyze:
Information portals in Kosovo have published articles with generalizing titles, without clarifying in which country they occurred.
These aforementioned portals, which operate in Kosovo and have their primary readers from Kosovo, based on the page's followers on Facebook. Therefore, not providing information about the country where these news stories are being reported, can very easily misinform their readers, making them think that the events took place in Kosovo.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates 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.
