Poynter and Google News Initiative Misinformation Student Fellowship Program
In 2023, given the ever present problem of misinformation and how quickly it can spread — especially on social media – the Google News Initiative and Poynter have partnered to launch a student fellowship program focused on combating mis- and disinformation in communities. Fellows will work in local newsrooms on projects aimed at curbing the spread of misinformation and promoting digital literacy at the community level and among the younger generation.The Washington Informer - Washington, D.C.The Washington Informer - Washington, D.C.
