The information portal "sot.com.al" published an article on November 12 titled "A 5.2 magnitude earthquake "shakes" the country, here is where the epicenter was".
After verification by Hibrid.info, it was found that the title of the article does not clarify in which country the earthquake occurred.
The location of the event is indicated in the content, more precisely in the heading of the article, where it says "A 5.2 magnitude earthquake was recorded overnight between Saturday and Sunday in Timor, Indonesia."
The information portal “sot.com.al” is registered in Albania (see here) and the content provided by this portal is in Albanian, therefore the above-mentioned title leaves room for interpretation as there was an earthquake in any of the Albanian-speaking countries.
Link to the article published on the portal "sot.com.al":
Hibrid.info has found the announcement about the earthquake in Indonesia published on the online platform of the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (ESCM). (see here)
Analyze:
The Albanian-language media outlet "sot.com.al" has published an article about an earthquake in Indonesia, without indicating in the title where the event occurred.
Failure to clarify the location of the event in the title by the media outlet written in Albanian and recorded in Albania may lead to misinformation among readers, leaving room for the implication that the earthquake occurred in one of the Albanian-speaking areas.
Therefore, based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates 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.
