Read the original article on dailymail.com (opens in a new tab)The Daily Mail reports retail data showing higher sales of hand sanitiser, bottled water, batteries and tinned goods in the ten days after the Government's Be Ready campaign launched, alongside supermarket market share figures and Princes Group's trading update. The figures are attributed and given their comparison period, and the analyst's caution that this was not panic buying is included. Nothing in it misleads.
“in the ten days after the campaign was launched on October 22, compared to the corresponding period last year”
The article gives the period and the base for its headline figure, so the 83 per cent rise is not left floating without a comparison.
“this wasn't panic buying, with less than a third of households buying bottled water in October”
The article includes the data provider's own caution, which stops readers from reading the percentage rises as a run on the shops.
“according to the data from Worldpanel by Numerator”
The article names the source of its sales figures rather than presenting them in its own voice.
