'Vital' school trips 'out of reach' as one in five children miss out

The Daily Star reports a commercial survey on school trips, and it says plainly in S7 that PGL Beyond, a trip provider, commissioned it. Its headline states that one in five children miss out, a figure the body never gives. The Daily Mirror's report of the same survey gives it as 22% who have never been on an overnight trip with school, a narrower measure than missing school trips altogether.

   “one in five children miss out”

   Why this matters

   The headline states as fact that one in five children miss out on school trips. No sentence in the body gives this figure or explains what it measures.

   The impression it gives

   A reader believes one in five children never go on school trips of any kind.

   The context

   The body never states a one in five figure. The Mirror's report of the same survey gives it as 22% who have never been on an overnight trip with school, a narrower measure than missing out on school trips altogether.
