News of gunfire illustrated with inappropriate photos

HIBRID

The portal "GazetaDemos.com" has published an article titled "BREAKING NEWS: Gunfire in the North", to which it has attached inappropriate photographs.

The illustrative photograph shows the published images of the attacks on the Kosovo Police in the north of the country on April 15. While the content of the article, based on information from the "Jepi Zë" portal, refers to a gunfight in the Miners' Neighborhood, north of Mtirovica.

Therefore, the photograph used by the portal "GazetaDemos.com" is inadequate, as it implies that the gunfire was directed at the Kosovo Police.

The portal "Jepi Zë", which was the first to inform about this event, used an illustrative photograph in this article showing a part of North Mitrovica. (see here)


Hibrid.info, after research conducted through online search engines, managed to find the photograph published by "GazetaDemos", which was used by several online media outlets in connection with the attack on the Kosovo Police in the north of the country that occurred on April 15, 2022. (see here and here)


Analyze:

The portal "GazetaDemos.com" has published an article regarding gunfire in the north of the country, where it is said that two groups are suspected of shooting at each other.

However, in this article, this portal has posted an inadequate photograph, which relates to the attacks on the Kosovo Police in the north of the country on April 15 of this year.

This may misinform readers, implying that these gunshots were directed at the Kosovo Police. Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as “Clickbait”.


Reasoning:

“Clickbait” are those texts whose title has 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 only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
