Lifting restrictions has nothing to do with Kosovo

HIBRID

The article titled "The state will lift all anti-covid restrictions at the end of the month" was published by the portal "Kosova-sot.info", while in the illustrative photograph it placed an image showing part of the Pristina square.

By posting this photo, this online medium has implied that the news about the lifting of all anti-Covid restrictions is related to Kosovo, as even the title does not make it clear which country it is referring to.

Upon entering the text, it becomes clear that the event is related to Great Britain, where its Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made the decision to lift all measures against coronavirus at the end of the month.

Knowing that the portal "Kosova-sot.info" is registered in Kosovo and has the vast majority of readers Albanian-speaking, the article with a generalizing and non-explanatory title may misinform readers, implying that the repeal of anti-Covid restrictive measures is about Kosovo.

Hibrid.info managed to find this photograph previously published as an illustration for events related to Kosovo.

Online media such as “Kosovapress.com” and “Insajderi.com” have used this photo in their articles regarding active cases with anti-Covid-19 measures in Kosovo. (see here and here)


Analyze:

The "Kosova-sot.info" portal has published an article about Great Britain, whose prime minister decided to lift all measures against coronavirus at the end of February.

However, in the publication of this article, another photograph was placed, that of a part of the Pristina square, and this may misinform readers, implying that this decision is about the state of Kosovo.

From the fact-checking analysis conducted 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.
