The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" today (April 1) published an article titled "Shocking: 35-year-old mother jumps out of window with 5-year-old son."
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the headline is a generalization that does not clarify the location of the incident. While the news is only made clear in the content, where it is announced that the event took place in Italy.
Knowing that this portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), this may misinform readers that this event took place in Kosovo.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
A 35-year-old woman is reported to have jumped out of her window with her 5-year-old child in her arms in Italy, reports "Kosova Sot Online".
The woman died instantly, while the child is in serious condition in hospital.
Link to the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
Since the news is not related to an event that occurred in our country, hibrid.info has managed to find the article regarding this event, published by Italian media such as "Ilmessaggero.it" and "Repubblica.it". (see here and here)
Analyze:
The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article about an event in Italy, where a mother jumped out of a window with her 5-year-old son, but the title does not clarify in which country this event occurred.
Knowing that the medium in question is registered in our country and the majority of its audience are Albanian speakers from Kosovo, the title placed on the article implies that the news item is about an event that occurred in our country.
After fact-checking based on the work methodology, hibrid.info assesses 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.
