Authoritativeness is one of the main and least studied communicative categories. In particular, the description of authoritativeness in the news discourse is fragmentary. In a news text, authoritativeness enters into a codependent relationship with the category of credibility, in which one category’s means of expression also express the second one. The aim of this article is to identify and describe doubt markers in news texts. Based on general scientific methods and methods of discursive, functional, and contextual analysis, a set of doubt markers is identified and divided into several groups based on a subfunctional feature: assumption and prediction of probability, inaccurate quantitative data, etc. Some of the identified markers have not yet been the subject of linguistic analysis, which is the scientific novelty of the paper. The results obtained may find practical use in further studies of authoritativeness and credibility; they may also be of interest to the authors of news texts.
