Codesinfo – Innovation Fund for Combating Disinformation is a  program by Projor, funded by the Google News Initiative, aimed at developing and testing innovative projects created by Brazilian journalistic organizations to combat disinformation.

The program’s goal is to find solutions whose results can be shared with the community of journalism content producers in Brazil and replicated by other media ventures. This fosters a collaborative environment around a common objective: preventing and mitigating the spread of disinformation.

During the selection process, 47 proposals were evaluated based on criteria such as originality, technical feasibility, budget adequacy, degree of innovation, and the plan for sharing results. The projects funded in 2024 are:

  • Ambiental Media: Development of a chatbot that provides real-time information on climate change using IPCC data.
  • Aos Fatos: Creation of an automated monitoring tool that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to identify misleading health-related advertisements.
  • Folha de S.Paulo: Implementation of a system that uses AI to generate short videos from newspaper content and images.
  • Folha do Mate: Development of a plugin that verifies news sources and provides information about authors, including resumes and verification seals.
  • Núcleo Jornalismo: Creation of a plugin that automates the updating of context in already-published reports.
