Reputable news organizations around the world can tap into the fund. Google is looking for projects that aim to provide COVID-19 fact checks to populations that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 misinformation. The company will give priority to applicants with interdisciplinary teams behind them and a clear vision of what success would look like for their project.
