keep up with/on the news
Maybe an option, that is "be up to date".
In my view, they mean that a journalist has to seek and find the news other than being informed.

to be well-informed
An alternative wording. I think it may rather refer to having lots of good contacts in the field, which is how a good journo stays ahead of the pack with breaking news or new leads.
Example sentence:
The most important thing is to be well-informed; my work relies on being aware of everything that happens.
The most important thing is to be well-informed; my work relies on being up-to-date with the latest turn of events.
