Google and YouTube to invest $13.2Mn to curb misinformation
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google and YouTube have announced a $13.2 million grant to the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the non-profit Poynter Institute to launch a new Global Fact Check Fund, which will open in early 2023.
Fact-check panels on YouTube appear at the top of search results for queries related to a specific claim, helping provide viewers with additional context. The new fund will support the network of 135 fact-checking organisations from 65 countries, covering over 80 languages.
The Global Fact Check Fund will help fact-checkers to scale existing operations or launch new ones that elevate information, uplift credible sources and reduce the harm of misinformation and disinformation around the globe. The fact-checking organisations can use the funding to incorporate new technologies, create or expand digital footprints, optimise verification tools, and increase their capacities to deepen audience engagement through innovative storytelling formats such as audio, video or podcasts.
Google said, “Building on our previous work to address misinformation, this is Google and YouTube’s single largest grant in fact-checking. These panels are available in six countries and we’re working to roll them out in additional markets. In addition to headlines, you’ll now see the original claim made along with the fact-checked assessment from independent organisations. We’re committed to continuing to support the journalists and fact-checking organisations on the front lines of the fight against misinformation.”
