Pressetext Plaintext

im Rahmen des Innovationsfonds der Digitalen News Initiative (DNI) gibt Google die geförderten Projekte aus der fünften Finanzierungsrunde bekannt, darunter 18 Einreichungen aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz. Insgesamt werden 98 Projekte aus 28 europäischen Ländern mit über 21 Millionen Euro unterstützt. Damit beläuft sich die bisher im Rahmen des DNI-Fonds angebotene Gesamtförderung auf über 115 Millionen Euro.

Hier die vier Projekte aus Österreich, die in dieser Runde finanziert wurden:

VoiceAd (Sebastian Krause): VoiceAd is a tool that makes it easy and affordable for everyone to produce their own audio-advertorials and deliver them to specific audiences. This will be achieved by combining the possibilities of the Google Voice API and Google Text to Speech with methods of programmatic advertising, to build an easy-to-use interface to produce and deliver audio-commercials.

SBCNS - Styria Blockchain News System (Styria Digital Services GmbH & Styria Media Group AG): SBCNS will develop a powerful blockchain based prototype as a basis for a new digital broadcasting and high level fake news detection system. Editors will be able to easily seal and distribute their content with SBCNS in the host organisation and in any other news eco-systems. This prototype will research and locate obstacles in this new way of distributing information to learn how content is shared and where it gets distorted (aka fake news). The goal is to implement the service and cooperate with existing systems worldwide.

New(s) Influencers (influence.vision): The project will set out to verify social influencers who are providing reliable news and creative content of journalistic value. The goal will be to create a tool that can distinguish between sponsored and natural content created by the influencer/blogger community and combine various content pieces into an all-in-one media hub. This verification network will enable AI based discovery and interaction with high-quality content created by a de-centralised community of content creators.

The Journalism Currency: Monetisation follows Engagement (Russmedia Digital): The Blockchain has more potential for revolutionizing a wide berth of activities for businesses than has yet been shown. When it comes to commerce, the integration of gamification techniques promise to go a step further in improving data collection, understanding user preferences, and ultimately capitalizing on this information. These leaps represent a tremendous advantage for developing more sustainable outreach efforts that are far more quantifiable all while delivering more targeted results. This Project aims to combine gamification with transparent and safe Blockchain technology for all future journalistic on- and offline transactions.
