The portal "kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "First to promote plasma therapy against COVID-19, doctor commits suicide."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out 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 Italy, and such a thing is not disclosed 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 is general, which 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 match the content of the text, as it shows police tape, which says in Albanian "CRIME SCENE DO NOT PASS".
Excerpt from the text of the article published on "kosova-sot.info":
Italian doctor who first promoted plasma therapy against COVID-19 commits suicide
Italy has lost one of its best doctors. Former pulmonologist at Mantova Hospital, Giuseppe De Donno, committed suicide in his apartment.
The 54-year-old was the first to promote the cure for Covid-19 through hyperimmune plasma transfusion, the controversial therapy that uses part of the blood of patients who have recovered from the coronavirus.

Analyze:
The title of this article does not state in which country the event took place. 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 related to 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 PASS". 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 Italy.
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.
