The Knight Foundation is throwing some real money at the fake news problem and its related issues.

The Knight Prototype Fund, which shells out up to $50,000 to developers of early-stage media projects, announced a round of 20 new initiatives, all of which are addressing in some way ongoing concerns about trust in news (including the fake kind), media literacy, and factchecking.

Frederic Filloux, cofounder of Monday Note, will lead the News Quality Score Project, a tool that will find and quantify the signals of quality news. Filloux said back in April that the project had completed a collection of 640,000 articles from 500 of the largest American websites. In a similar vein, Veracity.ai, aimed at advertisers, will try to combat fake news’ financial incentives by developing an updating list of fake news sites.

Hoaxy Bot-o-Meter is another notable project. Its creators at Indiana University Bloomington’s Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research say that it will “uncover attempts to use Internet bots to boost the spread of misinformation and shape public opinion,” which is apropos given the significant role that fake news bots had in the 2016 election.

In an effort to help journalists understand the scale of the misinformation problem, PBS NewsHour is helping to develop a tool called NewsTracker.org, which will gather various data about stories, including their authors, where they’re being shared, and how many people they reach.

Other projects are aimed at individual news consumers. PolitiFact’s Facts Matter, for example, will use experiments in in-person events and mobile games to help improve trust in factchecking among conservatives. CrossCheck, which had a recent test run as a collaboration in France, wants to use design to make news easier for people to remember and recall. Social Media Interventions, developed by a team at Boston University, will experiment with sending people real-time alerts when they share fake news.

Teaching news literacy is also a big theme of these projects, with the likes of the University of Washington, Univision, KQED, and the American Library Association all taking different approaches to helping people become more informed news consumers.

Here’s the full list of the winners:

Breaking filter bubbles in science journalism by the University of California, Santa Cruz (Project lead: Erika Check Hayden | Santa Cruz, California @Erika_Check, @UCSC_SciCom): Producing visually-engaging science journalism around topics such as climate change and genetics, to determine whether content delivered by a trusted messenger in a culturally-relevant context has greater reach.

Calling Bullshit in the Age of Fake News by the University of Washington (Project lead: Jevin West | Seattle @jevinwest, @UW_iSchool): Developing a curriculum and set of tools to teach students and the public to better assess quantitative information and combat misinformation, with a particular emphasis on data, visualizations, and statistics.

ChartCheck by Periscopic (Project lead: Megan Mermis | Portland, Oregon | @periscopic): Addressing the spread of misinformation through charts, graphs and data visualizations by fact-checking these resources and publishing results. The team will also build tools to evaluate the spread of these charts on social media and the Internet.

Crosscheck by Vanderbilt University in collaboration with First Draft (Project lead: Lisa Fazio and Claire Wardle | Nashville, Tennessee | @lkfazio, @cward1e, @firstdraftnews, @crosscheck): Using design features to make correct news more memorable, so that people can recall it more easily when faced with false information, using a platform initially developed in France to address misinformation around the country’s election.

Facts Matter by PolitiFact (Project lead: Aaron Sharockman | St. Petersburg, Florida | @asharock, @PolitiFact): Helping to improve trust in fact-checking, particularly among people who identify as conservative, through experiments including in-person events; a mobile-game that tracks misconceptions about specific facts; diverse commentators who would assess fact-checking reports; and a study of the language used in these reports to determine their effect on perceptions of trustworthiness.

Glorious ContextuBot by Bad Idea Factory (Project lead: Daniel Schultz | Philadelphia | @biffud, @slifty): Helping people become better consumers of online audio and video content through a tool that provides the original source of individual clips and identifies who else has discussed it on the news.

The tool aims to reveal how this information is generated and broadcasted, how it becomes viral, its overall reach and how it competes with accurate information for placement on user feeds.

Immigration Lab by Univision News (Project lead: Ronny Rojas | Miami | @ronnyrojas, @UniNoticias): Engaging undocumented immigrants on issues that affect their lives by creating a reliable news resource to help them access and gather information. The project team will do on-the-ground research in communities with a high percentage of undocumented immigrants and learn about their media literacy skills, news consumption habits and needs, and trusted information sources.
