About this analysis

Sky News promotes a podcast episode asking why serious dog attacks have risen since XL bullies were banned in 2023. It cites hospital admissions and a Greater Manchester Police figure on dog seizures, and says the reporter was herself attacked. Nothing in this short listing misleads its reader.

What it gets right

  • “Greater Manchester Police have reported a 900 per cent increase in the number of dog seizures”

    Sky News attributes the striking seizure figure to the police force that reported it, rather than stating it in its own voice.

  • “Sky News correspondent Katie Barnfield was herself the victim of a serious attack last year.”

    Sky News tells the listener that its own reporter has a personal stake in the story, so the reader can weigh her account knowing that.
