"The resulting risk ratings will be used to raise awareness among advertising companies and trade bodies of the risks that arise from funding disinformation," the grant description said."Partners will also use the data and reports to drive national policy debates on trust in media and disinformation, and to work constructively with media outlets to improve the quality and rigor of their content.
