An app that “proofreads” datasets, a tool that evaluates how much readers care about a story and an automated fact-checker are among a list of projects that have received early-stage funding from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
The foundation announced today that 20 projects aimed at fostering civic engagement and access to data have each received awards of $35,000 from its Prototype Fund. The recipients come from various media and nonprofit institutions including NPR, the New York-based digital media outlet Vocativ and multiple universities.
