About this analysis

LBC reports that Stuart Sterling, chief executive of the Ethics and Integrity Commission, has stepped back while the Government looks into sexual misconduct allegations from his time at Northamptonshire Police. It attributes each allegation to the Sunday Times and gives his denials and his own account. It also includes the force's confirmation of a 2002 misconduct record. Nothing in it misleads.

What it gets right

  • “after being accused of grabbing a colleague’s breasts in 2002, the Sunday Times reported”

    LBC attributes the central allegation to the Sunday Times rather than stating it in its own voice, so the reader knows whose reporting it rests on.

  • “He strenuously denies this allegation, saying he did not attend the complainant’s house after the incident or pressure her to withdraw the claim”

    LBC gives the named man's specific denial right after the allegation it answers, rather than burying it.

  • “we hold a brief digital record of a misconduct process from 2002”

    LBC quotes the police force directly, so the reader can separate what an institution has confirmed from what the newspaper reported.
