An analyst is compiling a report on a company's environmental record. The analyst finds conflicting information: a company press release claims compliance with regulations, a news article reports a recent violation, and a government database shows a pending fine. Which source should be prioritized for the report?

The company press release, because it is the company's official position.

The news article, because it is from a reputable outlet.

All sources equally, because each provides a different perspective.

The government database, because it is an official record of regulatory actions.
