In Conflict Environment: Sharing and access gets really effected. Over protection of data OR the exact opposite of being everywhere, all over the place.
Two extreme biases in conflict situations, make it hard for third parties. Believeable, credible sources that are directly linked (primary sources). How much is the source represented.
History of reliability + line of authority + accountbility.

** Case Study ** (Somalia) Clusters of tribal networks negotiates power. Negotiate ability to access food, access (getting out of country)> Tribes are not exclusive or discrete. They inter-marry. Armed groups are loosely related. Environment of extreme dependency on parties which can assure > food, water, security. Third party actors have to establish 1:1 trust relationships with specific people. No common understanding that the media is a third-party you have to talk/give information to.
