About this analysis

The Telegraph publishes an obituary of Rear-Admiral Patrick Middleton, a Royal Navy submarine engineer, tracing his career from Dartmouth in 1954 to his retirement in 1992 and his later charity and commission work. It names Admiral Sir Jock Slater as the source of some of the praise it prints, and describes the charity Middleton chaired plainly. No finding was made against the article.

What it gets right

  • “Admiral Sir Jock Slater, then Commander-in-Chief Fleet, trusted him completely for his honest and impartial advice”

    The Telegraph names the senior officer whose judgement it reports and quotes his words, so the reader knows whose assessment of Middleton this is.

  • “a charity founded in 1966 to provide homes and work for adults with learning disabilities”

    The Telegraph describes the charity plainly by what it does and whom it serves, in respectful terms.
