An excerpt from Gazeta Koha Jone

Tirana dhe historia e saj e mbushur me përplasje pushteti, personazhe të jashtëzakonshme dhe ngjarje të pabesueshme vijnë në librin më të ri të shkrimtarit Ben Blushi, “Historitë e Çmendura të Tiranës”. I ftuar në emisionin “Rreze Dielli”, Blushi tregoi se libri përmban 38 histori dhe rreth 100 personazhe, duke nisur nga viti 1600 deri në vitet 2000. “Ky është një roman, një trill historik. Kam përzgjedhur ato ngjarje që s’janë të zakonshme, që janë të marra”, u shpreh autori. Mes rrëfimeve spikat historia e krijimit të Tiranës, rivaliteti mes familjeve Bargjini dhe Toptani, si dhe misteri i prejardhjes së emrit të kryeqytetit. Blushi kundërshton teorinë që emri Tiranë vjen nga Teherani, duke propozuar një tjetër shpjegim që lidhet me fjalën “tiran”. “Ka shumë legjenda dhe shumë histori në lidhje me emrin e Tiranës. Në një kapitull të veçantë jam marrë me emrin e Tiranës. Gojëdhënat që emri i Tiranës vjen nga Teheran nuk është e vërtetë. Emri i Tiranës ka ekzistuar para vitit 1600…

What is still uncertain

From Mosaic, not from a publisher

Mosaic is not sure that every article is about the same event; the grouping is waiting for a check.
So far only Gazeta Koha Jone reports this story on Mosaic, so there is no other coverage to compare it with.

How we decide

From Mosaic, not from a publisher

An article's time is the date its publisher gives, when that is plausible: not in the future, and not more than 180 minutes before Mosaic found the article. Otherwise it is when Mosaic first saw it. "Earliest report found by Mosaic" is the one with the earliest time; it does not prove that its outlet published first.

An article is marked "Repeats another outlet's text" when its cleaned text is word for word the same as another article's in the story, or nearly the same (the two texts' SimHash fingerprints differ in at most 12 of 64 bits). Both texts must have at least 30 words, and the articles must be within 48 hours of each other. That does not say who took it from whom: it can be a news agency's text or a press release that several outlets published.

It is also marked when at least 50 % of the two texts' three-word sequences are shared (estimated with MinHash), as with a copy whose lead, footer or page elements differ.

A story leads with the eligible report with the highest current score, when every eligible report has one. Otherwise it leads with the earliest report found by Mosaic, which says nothing about its quality. Reports repeating another outlet's text and paid or organisation-issued articles are left out of the comparison.

Think one of these labels is wrong? Use "Contest this" beside it: staff look at every one.
