This policy brief discusses both the value that can be gained from the monitoring and assessment of open sources as well as the challenges of deriving targeted and reliable Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) for a better understanding of and response to violent conflict. Drawing on insights from different work packages of the INFOCORE project, special emphasis is placed on an evaluation of the utility of media and NGO contents regarding the conflicts in Syria, Burundi and Macedonia. This brief presents an effort to identify strategies for a better understanding and exploitation of conflict-related overt content across different types of media which can improve the quality of intelligence assessments and policy responses.
