Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Google and YouTube have taken up the role of fighting misinformation by investing in products, programmes and partnerships to help people access high-quality information.<\/p>\n

In November last year, they announced a $13.2 million grant to the International Fact-Checking Network to launch a new Global Fact Check Fund.<\/p>\n

This will support their network of 135 fact-checking organisations from 65 countries covering over 80 languages.<\/p>\n

The topic of misinformation reached an all-time high worldwide in October last year, according to Google trends data.<\/p>\n

The fund is expected to open early this year.<\/p>\n

The Global Fact Check Fund will help fact-checkers scale existing operations or launch new ones that elevate information, uplift credible sources and reduce the harm of mis and disinformation around the globe.<\/p>\n

Fact-checking organisations can use the funding to incorporate new technologies and create or expand digital footprints.<\/p>\n

They can also optimise verification tools and increase their capacities to deepen audience engagement through innovative storytelling formats such as video, audio, or podcasts.<\/p>\n

This year, YouTube is slated to host a training series for fact-checking organisations interested in learning more about the platform<\/p>\n

It will also train on the best practices for video content strategy and engagement.<\/p>\n

YouTube also recently launched Hit Pause.<\/p>\n

This is a media literacy initiative meant to help viewers spot and evaluate misinformation.<\/p>\n

Google has also continued to partner with organisations focused on media literacy through the Google News Initiative.<\/p>\n

Since 2018, the initiative has invested nearly $75 million in projects and partnerships working to strengthen media literacy and combat misinformation around the world.<\/p>\n

According to Google, the Global Fact Check fund seeks to build on that commitment.<\/p>\n

An easy way for one to find information from independent fact-checking organisations includes the use of different fact-checkers on Google Search, News, and YouTube.<\/p>\n

These find fact checks and additional context features can be found across these platforms.<\/p>\n

Fact checks from independent organisations in Google Search results where Google highlights relevant fact-check articles in results.<\/p>\n

This is in Search, News, and Google Images to ensure people get the full context while they are searching.<\/p>\n

Fact check panels on YouTube that appear at the top of search results for queries related to a specific claim.<\/p>\n

This helps provide viewers with additional context.<\/p>\n

According to YouTube, these panels are available in six countries and they are working to roll them out in additional markets.<\/p>\n

There is also the fact check section in Google News on the desktop.<\/p>\n

In addition to headlines, people will now see the original claim made along with the fact-checked assessment from independent organisations.<\/p>\n

There is the fact check explorer that searches claims from among 150,000 fact checks from reputable publishers.<\/p>\n

Following a major news event, the breaking news panel may appear in YouTube search results for relevant questions, showing one developing stories from news sources that follow Google News and content policies.<\/p>\n

The about this result is another Search feature that helps one see more context about a result before visiting a page; just by tapping the three dots next to the result.<\/p>\n

When information searched for isn\u2019t broadly available yet, Google search automatically shows a notice on the results.<\/p>\n

They indicate that it can take time for a range of sources to publish information on a topic.<\/p>\n

Through these ways, Google helps one better understand the information they come across online.<\/p>\n

Google and YouTube are committed to continuing to support journalists and fact-checking organisations to fight against misinformation.<\/p>\n
