(7 years ago)On Thursday, in the hours leading up to the challenge between Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfita, he made a comic news: Two Portuguese fans were driving to Frankfurt, but they had placed Frankfurt at the navigation site near the Oder River in eastern Germany, far from Frankfurt near the Main River, where the football match was fought.

So some Benfita fans are killing to the wrong City of Frankfurt. They went to Frankfurt in Eastern German inside of Frankfurt. Oh boy. ♪ SGEBenfia Pic.twitter. com/ NotG37ft3

The news was reflected in every world media, from BBC to Sports Illustrated, from Le Parisien to DPA, and so on, but it was a prank of the German magazine 11found. The reason was not merely to mock everyone but also to show how news can be invented with a small budget, and like all online media report the news as true without any verification.
How was the fall realized? Two actors who knew Portuguese, one car, one phone. Then, an incredible story about how the two boys drove 1,000 miles, confusing the city.
Instagrams, created two weeks ago, as well as a Twitter account, with only 1 followers.
Gallata reached the limit of one of the two characters, Alvaro, also appeared on television in DAZN, where he related the suffering of the two boys.
The invented journey of Alvaro and his cousin is a good reason to think about journalism and how it works in the online world.
