We’re offering a share of $1 million for early-stage ideas that address concerns about the spread of misinformation and build trust in journalism. Technologists, journalists, designers, teachers, researchers and others who have diverse perspectives on how to solve this challenge are welcome to apply. We expect to award funding up to $50,000 for each idea. Knight Foundation is running the call through the newly relaunched Knight Prototype Fund <http://knightfoundation.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44a06e103b99cf80e07a2eaad&id=da42bcc306&e=9a058d9903>, which supports early-stage media and information ideas. Knight released a new report on Friday detailing lessons from the Prototype Fund, which is shifting from a general call for ideas to a themed approach. To apply to the open call and for more information, go to knightfoundation.org/informed <http://knightfoundation.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=44a06e103b99cf80e07a2eaad&id=c440135ca6&e=9a058d9903> and answer a few questions by April 3.
