By publishing an article from October last year regarding the death of two Kosovar citizens in an accident on Kombit Road, in the Kalimash tunnel, the “Live News” Facebook page attempted to falsely present this as a current event.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "clickbait".
Reasoning:
“Clickbait” is considered to be informational content whose title is general and does not disclose the location of the event, context and relevance. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the audience with sensational headlines with misleading consequences, which do not accurately clarify the content of the article. “Clickbait” headlines are mainly made to attract readability in the case of media publications and/or to earn from clicks in the case of commercial publications.
