The title and photo leave room for misinformation

HIBRID

The portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "Knife attack at the university".

From the fact-check conducted by hibrid.info, it results that with this title, the author may have a tendency to misinform readers, since the event is noted to be related to the state of France, while this is not clarified in the title.

Knowing that the portal "kosova-sot.info" is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, including the fact that the title of the article does not clarify where the event took place, it could very easily misinform readers, making them imply that the event took place in Kosovo.

Also, the photo of the article does not correspond to the content, as it shows police tape with the Albanian text "CRIME SCENE DO NOT PASS".


Excerpt from the text of the article published on "Kosova-sot.info":

A man has attacked students at a university in France with a knife.

One person is reported to be in critical condition and at least four students were injured in the attack that took place at the University of La Mans.

Analyze:

The title of this article published by "Kosova-sot.info" does not state in which country the event occurred.

Considering that this portal is in Albanian and most of its readers are Kosovars, it could very easily misinform them into thinking that the event is about Kosovo.

Also, the photo placed in the article tends to misinform readers, as it shows police tape, which says in Albanian "CRIME SCENE DO NOT ENTER". So, neither the title nor the photo correspond to the content of the text, as it is not clear that it is about an event in France.

After fact-checking analysis through the work methodology, hibrid.info considers this article to be "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.
