Good sports beat writers will develop professional relationships with people on their beats who are trusted sources of information. Sources often provide writers with tips about breaking news, inside information or certain actions that might take place soon, such as a coach who is about to be fired or a player who will be traded. Having good sources allows a sports beat writer to report news as quickly as possible — ideally, before any other news organization has reported it.
