The information portal "Gazeta-shqip.com" published yesterday (September 27) the article titled "SHOCKING! A 12-year-old girl is raped by 11 men: They kidnapped the minor and...".
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it was confirmed that the headline is a generalization that does not indicate the location of the event.
The news is clarified only in the content, which states "A serious event has occurred in Bolivia."
Knowing that the address of the information portal in the “PERSONAL DATA” section appears to be in Tirana (see here), this means that not specifying the place where the news occurred leaves room for misinformation that it is about an event that occurred in Albania.

Excerpt from the article published on "Gazeta-shqip.com":
The horrific attack occurred in the early hours of Monday in the city of Oruro.
A serious incident has occurred in Bloivi.
To further confirm the fact that the event took place in the city Oruro in Bolivia, hibrid.info has found the article published in foreign media such as “DailyMail.co.uk” and “Metro.co.uk”. (see here and here)
Analyze:
The information portal "gazeta-shqip.com" has published an article about an event in the city of Oruro in Bolivia, the title of which does not clarify which country it is referring to.
“Gazeta-shqip.com” is an online medium written in Albanian, operating in Albania. Therefore, the lack of clarity in the title about where the event took place from this portal could very easily result in misinforming readers, making them think that the event took place in Albanian-speaking areas.
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.
