First Draft News was a project "to fight mis- and disinformation online" founded in 2015 by nine organizations brought together by the Google News Lab. It includes Facebook, Twitter, the Open Society Foundations and several philanthropic organizations. In June 2022, the First Draft mission moved to the Information Futures Lab from the Brown University School of Public Health. The First Draft website was archived and "hosted in perpetuity" by the Internet Archive. The project drew on experts and organisations working in the field, including reported.ly, Eyewitness Media Hub, Storyful and Meedan. Google News Lab developed and maintained firstdraftnews.org and supported the creation of new content. More information...
