When reporting partners compete instead of collaborate on shared beats

My reporting partner and I have been covering the same beat for eighteen months and we've developed completely different relationships with our sources and I think we're starting to compete instead of collaborate and our editor doesn't see it. We're supposed to be sharing information but I've caught myself holding back details because I want the byline and I know they're doing the same thing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional partnership has devolved into hidden competition, undermining both journalistic integrity and working relationship.
