There are many ways to gather readers’ attention, and a playful approach is one of them. Gamification of news will lead readers to stay in news website longer and provide their personal information and interest willingly. The information will serve as data to make room for new media business model. While enjoying a game, readers may reflect their behavioral tendency on news consumption, and the growing tendencies will build up as a combined data platform of ‘News CRM’, which will lead to more sophisticated form of content marketing.
La Diaria
Daily Maverick is a South African daily online publisher serving up a unique blend of news, investigations, expert political analysis, and opinion. Since its founding in 2009, the publication has set itself apart with a distinctive editorial voice and a strong focus on investigative reporting.
GMA News and Public Affairs
This project aims to build a surveillance system that will ultimately aim to "inoculate" audiences from misinformation. The surveillance team will use emerging technologies, including AI tools, to speed up: 1) the early detection of misinformation before they have a chance to go viral; and 2) the production of factual pieces information — articles, social media posts, and videos — that would pre-bunk these pieces of misinformation. Beyond the Philippine context, the project seeks to develop a sustainable model for pre-bunking that can be applied by other traditional media organizations in the Global South who are dealing with their own information disorder.
Scoop
This funding will allow us to build our ethical paywall model into a software product which will increase our ScoopPro product professional level of reader revenue.The product will also allow us to better leverage our data to provide a better customer and user experience.

The Westport News, a small New Zealand daily newspaper, is the beating heart of its community reflecting and revealing what has been happening in its area for more than 151 years. But like many small community outlets it faces big challenges relating to audience behaviour and costs. Kīnga Voxpop Limited is working with The News to develop a model to help small newspapers and media outlets diversify into digital subscriptions at a very low cost. We want to ensure it, and many others, are still serving their communities for another 150 years.
Malaysiakini
KEEP allows Malaysiakini subscribers, readers and any registered users to engage with their local Assemblymen, MPs, local councils or authorities, for latest news or new developments in a constituency. Users can select more than one constituency. KEEP’s hyperlocal features allow users to post their views, grouses, suggest ideas on any matters affecting their day to day lives. Each posting will be monitored to ensure its authentic and tracked for its popularity. If relevant representatives fail to address crucial issues raised, Malaysiakini will escalate the matter to higher authority and if needed, publish a story, hold them accountable until it’s resolved.

Development of a CMS that can distribute news and creator contents in one place.
株式会社テレビ朝日 (TV Asahi)
Smartphone users are more familiar with vertical videos due to the popularity of YouTube Shorts. Therefore, we, as a news broadcasting business, would like to invent the vertical video production system that enables more people to access to news videos wherever they want.
Scroll Media Inc.
We are building an ML-based tool to create short news videos at scale for India’s diverse audiences. The country’s online video user base is 350 million people - with a 60% to 70% increase in time spent per daily active user per day (in 2018 - 2020).

Metroland Media
Community news outlets in Ontario, and across Canada, have historically provided little or superficial coverage of Indigenous peoples. Attempts to change this have failed for an amalgam of reasons, perhaps foremost among them a failure by the media to put in the time to make meaningful connections and build trust required to produce meaningful and comprehensive content. Through in-person consultation with Indigenous peoples in their communities, they will be able to make those meaningful connections, build trust and begin to understand what stories we should tell and how they should be told.

The Membership for Broadcast Project will demonstrate that local broadcasters can develop their relationship with their digital audience into a sustainable business model that offsets expected declines in retransmission and advertising dollars.

Next City
Newsrooms can know instantly how many page views or unique users they had at any given time. But they don’t have metrics for how many of their published sources were people of color, women, or LGBTQ. You can’t improve upon what you don’t measure. This new tool will empower newsrooms to track representation in their coverage.
Santa Clara University
The project will prototype automated digital tools for reporters and newsrooms to view source-diversity proportions in real-time/on-demand for both draft stories and published. A CMS plugin will help reporters visualize source-diversity proportions for quotes. A web monitor application will offer the same visualizations at the site level for up to 7,000 US sites. Unlike one-time manual audits, these tools will offer near real-time/on-demand feedback to ease barriers to assessing stories’ representativeness. An analytical framework will be based on a synthesis of journalism ethics vocabularies and design research findings. Santa Clara College will release the tools to early-adopter newsrooms with training.
El Tímpano
Community-centred news outlets like El Tímpano, Enlace Latino NC, and Conecta Arizona have recently emerged to address gaps in local news for Latino immigrants. Unlike the dominant model of Spanish-language news — commercial television — these outlets have a dynamic relationship with audience members, who communicate questions and stories directly with local journalists. An abundance of research has examined the impact of local news on democracy, civic engagement, and public health. Yet the majority of such research focuses on English-language news and commercial Spanish-language media, ignoring new and innovative models that serve growing immigrant communities.
Local Media Foundation 2020
Word in Black is a news collaborative that also focuses on business transformation for the partners (ten of the nation's leading Black publishers). They are focused on proposing solutions to racial inequities in America.

Documented
Immigrants are in the audiences of nearly every newsroom, yet have long been left behind by mainstream media, and have few places to turn for investigative reporting on issues relevant to them. Documented will use research to define, test, and pilot a news product or messaging strategy to reach Chinese-speaking and non-Spanish-speaking Caribbean immigrant Communities in New York City.
Louisville Public Media
Louisville media is not lifting up enough Black voices and experiences, leading to distrust in media and a disconnect between available information and resources and the people who need them most. Louisville Public Media wants to better serve local Black communities through listening and building authentic relationships. The COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the effects of generations of disinvestment in Louisville’s Black communities, specifically the city’s West End neighborhoods. The killing of Breonna Taylor highlighted inequities and intensified the community’s pursuit of racial justice and accountability in government, policing and business.
Sahan Journal
Minnesota is seeing a growing number of residents who speak multiple languages. Over 11% percent of Minnesota residents don’t speak English at home. And in Hennepin and Ramsey county, the two largest counties in the state, 55% percent of the population are multilingual, with Spanish, Somali and Hmong being the common non-English languages. Despite this, those who don't speak English as their first language, or are interested in accessing reliable news in their native language to maintain ties to their local communities, are particularly underserved in Minnesota’s current media ecosystem.
THE CITY
Two years after it launched, THE CITY is at a critical juncture. It must leverage editorial success and accelerate the audience and product development, identify multiple revenue streams and engage more New Yorkers to succeed. THE CITY’s project is designed to inform efforts to reach a broader set of New Yorkers, focusing on neighborhoods where immigrants and people of color are in the majority and often gravely underserved by other media, while also growing our revenues and impact.

They will then bring urgency and attention to specific societal challenges through informed and respectful dialogue at at least one live streamed roundtable event powered by the research.
Borderless Magazine
Just half of the immigrant-serving news outlets that existed in Chicago in 2012 are still in business today. As immigrant communities continue to grow, news outlets have done a poor job filling the gap in our ecosystem, rarely offering content in Spanish or other non-English languages.<br/>Borderless Magazine’s project will blaze a trail for newsrooms who want to develop and serve multilingual audiences. Experimenting with new distribution and engagement strategies for Spanish and English audiences and hiring immigrant grassroots organizers to fill in gaps in coverage and help distribute our reporting.
Univision Los Angeles
Addressing misinformation is a critical audience need, given that a majority of Americans see it as a big problem and research shows that misinformation can affect people’s beliefs and have real-world consequences. As AP reporter David Klepper noted, “misinformation at the local level hasn’t received as much attention. In part, that’s because there are fewer reporters to call out those responsible for misinformation.” The tool being created aims to make this work easier.
Maine Public
Maine Public has robust individual-platform reporting. We aggregate the data by hand and present it to key stakeholders. We know the demo-, geo-, and socio-graphics for all of our individual digital platforms. However, each platform can only be understood in isolation. We don’t have aggregate or comparative information across platforms. What we don’t know: who are we missing and on which platforms are they consuming media? How can we engage underserved and new audiences where they are? The audience segmentation study and the aggregated audience data & the new "Engagement Currency" will help answer this.
The Texas Tribune
The Texas Tribune is committed to educating and engaging all Texans on matters of politics, policy and current events and, as stated in their 2018 strategic plan, has a goal to double and diversify their audience by the end of 2025. With proper audience research, the Tribune will gain insight as to who the nonprofit newsroom is serving now, and what initiatives to prioritize in the future to increase audience diversity in pursuit of their mission.
Record-Journal
Our local Latino communities want their voices heard, their inequities brought to light, and more local, fact-based news in both English and Spanish that they can trust. These are some of the many important insights we learned during our 5-month Listening Tour, and which led us to our mission statement: To amplify the voices of our local Latino communities. The Record-Journal will build upon the foundation & momentum of our Latino Communities Reporting Lab to bring together journalists, data experts, a network of community leaders and technology partners to understand the needs of our local Latino communities and build trust through deep community listening, engagement and data gathering.
Wick Communications and Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication
Wick Communications, a family-owned local news company, is partnering with Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to research new products and strategies to facilitate healthy online discourse in small communities. The prevalence of online misinformation has evolved from an unintended consequence of the digital revolution to a public health crisis. In a July advisory, the U.S. Surgeon General called health misinformation an “urgent threat to public health.” And much of that misinformation is originating from small communities in the U.S., not overseas.
Carolina Public Press
Studies show that 1.1 million North Carolina households lack access to either high-speed broadband or the digital tools and skills needed to access this essential service. Most of these households are in rural communities leaving NC with a significant digital divide. As a result, digital news is failing to fill gaps in declining print-based media, the primary news source in rural areas. More than half of NC’s 100 counties are, or are at risk of becoming, news deserts. This disproportionately impacts rural communities where broadband access simply does not exist, leaving residents without essential news and information.
Montclair State University Foundation on behalf of the Center for Cooperative Media
This project will assess the information needs of three communities in New Jersey that will be served by new hyperlocal startups. These startups were among the first round of public funding recipients from the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium. The Center will work with the people behind these new hyperlocals to identify potential audiences, conduct focus groups and surveys, and incorporate the findings into their organizational planning and content. The research design will be written up as a playbook for future hyperlocals to better understand their community’s information needs during the formative startup period.
Eugene Weekly
How does Eugene Weekly provide an alternative voice and also provide the coverage the community lacks? Will readers support increased coverage of rural and underrepresented communities? We seek to reach out and understand what the community sees as under-covered news topics. To do so we will reach out not only to our regular readers but also to those who might not see themselves and what they care about as positively represented by a newspaper, particularly rural and BIPOC community members. This includes discovering how to digitally access and encourage those new or slow to digital media.
Resolve Philadelphia
Understanding community information needs remains a challenge for most media organizations, leading to gaps in coverage, and misaligned resources. Pulse is a tool for understanding not only what info communities need, but also why they need it and when we can best serve those needs.
The Current
Quality local news is at risk. This threatens the sustainability of the sector but even more deeply, democracy itself, since many people rely on local news to form their political views and develop community attachments. Thirty counties in Georgia do not receive local news coverage. In many cases those same counties — and surrounding communities — are also the areas in Georgia with double-digit poverty rates, high levels of uninsured families, and low rates of civic engagement. Local news, as well as in-depth exploration of regional and state-level issues, is essential to these population centers and can inform the whole state.
A Chilean startup helps newsrooms grow their audiences
As a former journalist and newsroom editor, Miguel Paz, CEO and Founder of Reveniu, knows how difficult it can be to develop technical solutions. Being part of a small organization focused on producing good journalism doesn't always leave the time or resources to develop advanced tools or platforms to drive audience revenue but here’s how this team succeeded.
The News Minute turns fans into members
In a country as large and diverse as India, it’s difficult to represent everything happening on any given day. This is what motivated journalists to launch The News Minute (TNM) in 2014. From its beginnings, TNM has been a media platform reporting from, and about, South India, often for an out-of-country audience. It has also emerged as a strong feminist voice in Indian media, setting the standards for sensitive and on-the-ground coverage of issues related to children and women.
The media platform helping Indonesians donate for good
As an avid news reader, Andrias Ekoyuono, Chief of Corporate Strategy at kumparan, would read stories in the media every day about social problems and natural disasters. This made him want to help by donating to those in need but was difficult because he had to search for other websites that could channel the funds. He decided that the experience of giving donations after reading the news should be easier.
Crime reporting gets a boost in readers: A GNI Journey
D.C. Witness developed a new approach to criminal justice journalism to try to address issues of accountability. Traditional crime reporting can give an incomplete and warped view of what’s really going on, often based on only the most salacious cases. Instead, D.C. Witness reports on every step of every homicide from act to judicial resolution. This offers a distinct perspective across the entire criminal justice landscape.
Designing a new local product for French urban readers
When Pascal Brouet, EBRA COO and Local Pulse Project Director. took on the job of leading digital transformation for the French local daily newspaper group EBRA in 2018, print circulation was falling. The challenge for its future was revealed in the data — while circulation in the countryside was holding up, there was a sizable opportunity for expansion in metropolitan areas. And so a three-pronged internal project (at that time code-named “Local Pulse”) was conceived.
From rural India to the world: These women make the news
The journalists at Khabar Lahariya have been embedded in rural areas of India for close to 20 years where the team of mostly young women live and breathe their work in the thick of the community.

A Bridge Across the Abraham Accords: creating a shared news-centered interaction platform for Emirati and Israeli readers
Al-Ittihad, a leading UAE newspaper and news website, and Israeli daily Israel Hayom will partner to bring together their respective audiences through a news-centered interaction platform. The websites would simultaneously feature pre-selected articles, in Arabic on Al-Ittihad, and in Hebrew on Israel Hayom, including a commenting component with a three-way automated translation, Arabic, Hebrew, and English; comments by Al-Ittihad users made in Arabic will be read in Hebrew by Israel Hayom users, and vice versa.
Incorporating Audience Voice into the News through Innovative AI Enabled Publishing Platform
With the Syrian catastrophe disappearing from the news, Syrians, especially those who are left in areas where there is no freedom of speech under Assad regime or extremist groups control, feel neglected, the media outlets are talking to them, not about them and their issues, they feel they do not have a voice in a top-down news making approach imposed on them by major media outlets.

KONOHA - All-in-one subscription management system
Although Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) publishers often need a subscription infrastructure, global plug-and-play solutions are not compatible with Turkish systems and publishers cannot develop this system due to technical skills gaps.
Establishing a subscription and notification system for an ad-free and/or personalized reader experience
T24 relies its own advertising revenues to produce journalism and does not receive any financial support from any government, foundation, association, company, etc. Working with very modest budgets, T24 has to use the maximum amount of advertising space in order to meet its expenses. This increases the number of advertisements on the site which impacts on loyal readers the most so this project aims to provide a better experience to the most loyal readership.
AfrikPic NFT
This project seeks to help Congolese photojournalists find alternative sources of funding for their work. Thanks to blockchain technology, it will allow the authors of photographic works to benefit from the financial support of any internet user regardless of the sector in which they operate.

TrustList: defunding disinformation profiteers. A red/safe list system for vetting South Africa’s media and advertising industries
Disinformation is profitable, funded by unwitting advertisers. Sock-puppet publishers & clickbait factories have built industrial-scale systems that churn out toxic content that is designed to go viral, raking in an estimated $235m annually in ad revenue from unwitting brands. This programmatic propaganda is so successful that it has spawned a new 'start up' sector of disinfo-for-hire entrepreneurs. TrustList seeks to change this by providing media buyers and advertisers with real-time warnings if they try place programmatic advertising. ‘Red-listed’ online media that have been flagged as guilty of systematic disinformation infractions, or alternatively ‘grey-listed’ media flagged as vulnerable to disinformation amplification due to weak internal editorial systems will be highlighted.

The Africa Gender Data Portal: mainstreaming gender in African news through data
Data offers a unique opportunity for journalists to report with accuracy and nuance and can provide the perfect mechanism for unearthing new stories and offering new story angles. However, access to data on the continent of Africa as well as the considerable resource and skills constraints faced by local journalists, hinder the prospects of data-driven and gender-sensitive reporting from becoming standard practice. The Africa Gender Portal aims to address the low coverage and poor sourcing of women in news media as well as the lack of accessible gender data, and gender disaggregated data, available for use by newsrooms.
