Three months ago, the Knight Foundation asked people to submit their ideas for ways to battle fake news and bolster factual journalism.
And boy, did they.
More than 800 responded.
On Thursday, the foundation and two partners announced 20 winners, each to receive a $50,000 grant to further their work.
They include Baltimore-based Veracity.ai, which wants to curb the financial incentive for creating fake news via automatically updated lists of misleading websites.
Another winner is Who Said What, based in San Francisco, which aims to help people more easily fact-check audio and video news clips through a search tool that annotates millions of those clips.
