Example for civil war in Syria
- For real good infos check several social media carefully
- Get many, who represent different aspects & points of view
- Learn methods to check & verify, if sources are really spot

Most local activists will write in the national language, although many of them speak 2-3 languages (good chance for rookie in english), but I trust first time always more those, that write in inet social media with their local language.
- Use Google Translate for undestanding

You can hack google+ nearby stream (I wrote about this already some articles) to obtain public postings on Google+ from any geolocation you would like. But be carefull, injection from to any geolocation is possible!
Syria, Aleppo
Rojava, Kobanê
Syria, Damaskus
Lebanon, Beiruth
