Eighteen journalists will develop groundbreaking, collaborative multimedia projects designed to amplify the reach of reliable facts around the world, as part of the Disarming Disinformation initiative run by the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ).The selected journalists will receive grants totaling $72,000 to execute projects, often in partnership with student, community and other groups. They will employ creative tactics that range from podcasts and radio dramas to video games, cartoons, chatbots and social media skits.The projects span 17 languages, including Ugandan Sign Language and Indigenous languages such as Quechua. This is particularly important because non-English disinformation often goes undetected due to insufficient monitoring and reporting.
