Abstract
THE SECOND DECADE OF THE 21ST CENTURY IS MARKED BY THE INCREASE IN THE MAGNITUDE OF THE MIGRATION PHENOMENON, WHICH IS WHY INTELLIGENCE SERVICES ARE FACED WITH VARIOUS CHALLENGES. OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE (OSINT) IS TRANSLATED INTO EFFECTIVE WORKING METHODS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF RELE VANT INFORMATION PRODUCTS. IN STUDYING THIS PHENOMENON, WE PROPOSE TO PRESENT THE CONCEPTUAL DELIMITATIONS OF THOSE USED CONCEPTS, NAMELY MIGRATION AND OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION, AS WELL AS TO ANALYZE THE INTERDEPENDENCIES BETWEEN THEM, ESPECIALLY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA. OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE ARE NOW HIGHLY DESIRABLE TO PUT INTO PRACTICE THE PARADIGM OF OPENNESS THAT CHARACTERIZES CONTEMPORARY INTELLIGENCE. INCLUDING THE SENSITIVE AREA OF MIGRATION, IT IS NOTED THAT THE COLLABORA TION IS INTENSIFYING AND DIVERSIFYING AT ALL LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION, USING ALL THE POSSIBLE TOOLS, FROM THE RAW DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS TO THE SHARING OF EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGY.
