I have a sports website, focused mostly on news and interviews. It is one of the top 3 in my country in our niche, and we compete especially in news. Regarding our common topics, how should I treat my competition when writing? Should I link to them if they do or say something that I did not? Should I use (and obviously give credit and link) their photos if they cover an event that I didn't but need to report anyway?
How should I treat my direct competitors?

I have a sports website, focused mostly on news and interviews. It is one of the top 3 in my country in our niche, and we compete especially in news.
Regarding our common topics, how should I treat my competition when writing? Should I link to them if they do or say something that I did not? Should I use (and obviously give credit and link) their photos if they cover an event that I didn't but need to report anyway?
Our 3 websites mostly don't cite each other, and our biggest competitor views the rest as ENEMIES (their actual words when trying to buy us).
But marketwise, they are very strong in the social medias and maybe it would be good to attract their public if we try to have some sort of "relationship" with them or their writers on twitter, or link them in some cases for seo external links?
What would you do in this situation? Should I fear driving more traffic to them and remain "alone"?
How do you guys relate to your competitors?
