Can you expand on your question, please? Sources as in who to ask questions? Sources as in how to learn newswriting?
As far as researching a news article, going to the experts is the best bet. In terms of local issues, talking to as many people as possible is best ... the authorities, the people affected, bystanders, relatives, etc. Get both sides of the story, pro and con.
As far as learning to write news ... read some journalism books.

Sources should be reliable.

For example, if you are working on a report about the economy, you would rely on sources such as economists, stock brokers and accountants to get a well-rounded idea.

You would also want to get a man-on-the-street perspective as to what the average Joe has to say about the economy.

You would write your story, based in fact about what professionals say, and add the impact on the little guy, based on what the average Joe has to say.
