We do not republish articles from BBC News. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on bbc.co.uk (opens in a new tab)The BBC reports an undercover investigation into a London consultancy whose consultant offered to supply artworks, exhibitions, media coverage and an award to help a non-artist obtain a Global Talent visa, and into two Nigerian men whose visas the Home Office is revoking over faked press reviews. The article attributes its key claims, gives the company's denials in full alongside the evidence that contradicts them, and says where it could not verify claims. Nothing in what we read misleads the reader.
“iCareer denied selling visa services and claimed the consultant had left its employment before he spoke to the undercover reporter - despite continuing to be listed on the company's website and providing us with a contract with the company's name and contact email address.”
The BBC gives the company's denial and then sets out the specific evidence that bears on it, so the reader can weigh both.
“While we could not clarify Peter's claims”
The BBC tells the reader plainly which of the consultant's boasts it could not verify, rather than presenting his sales claims as established.
“because it believes they were obtained by deception”
The BBC attributes the deception finding to the Home Office and reports it as that department's belief and decision, keeping the official judgement distinct from its own.
