The online newspaper "Sinjali.com" has published a news story with photographs that does not correspond to the event.
This news item concerns the burning of a vehicle in the municipality of Kamenica, by unknown persons. Meanwhile, the photograph attached to this text does not correspond to the event in question. The photograph is of a burnt vehicle on the road, and it has Albanian license plates, and based on the surrounding environment (road infrastructure), it does not appear to be in Kosovo.
This photograph, in addition to the "Sinjali.com" portal, has been used by many other media outlets, without mentioning it as an illustrative photo, nor is its authenticity indicated.
Some of the portals that used the same photo for different events:

The same photograph was used by Albanian media to present the explosion of the car of the mayor of Vlora, but also for other cases, such as the burning of a police car in Elbasan.
Analysis:
The same photo used in different events is quite common in both Kosovar and Albanian media. Publishing a photo that does not fit the event without the caption “Illustration” or even a description of the authenticity of the photo is considered unprofessional and “Unverified Content”.
Reasoning:
Unverified content – The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
