More on Authority What does the source of information
know about the topic? If it’s a reporter do they cover many
different areas or just one sport/division/team etc?
Where do they get their information? What is their experience answering this
type of question?

Point of View (aka Bias) Who benefits from the
release of this information?
Would the author have any reason to not reveal the whole truth?
With data, could the compiler’s point of view affect the data collection or analysis?
