Comments from Recipient The grant (part of the Journalism 360 program) was sponsored by the Online News Association (ONA), Knight Foundation, and Google. The total amount received was $19,600. We have no way of knowing how much of that came from each of the sponsoring organizations. We appreciate Google's generosity and interest in supporting journalism. In other contexts, when Knight Lab, an academic project, has investigated Google support, it has generally seemed as though our not-exactly-journalism status has muddied the waters. It also seems as though many of their granting programs, unsurprisingly, lean heavily towards subsidizing/promoting the use of Google's tools, which always raises my concern about long-term sustainability. To be quite clear: -nothing about the grant we received directed us to use Google technology -we do not believe that there is any impropriety in Google organizing its philanthropy to align with its business interests -as a non-revenue organization, we must choose carefully when accepting temporary subsidies for services which will eventually become costs which we can't recover References Link to source

Terms Prototype Project (up to €50k) Comments from Recipient The full amount awarded was €50,000. It's not awarded in full, but first we had to submit a report on the milestones we plan to reach in terms of the product development, (we received 30% initially) and the approximate deadlines for it. Once we've reached them we had to send a report with materials (website, presentations or a video of the product) to show the progress, then Google takes up to a month for the review, and if it's satisfactory they send the remaining 70% of the grant (where we still have a set of additional milestones that we report as we progress). In our case, we received the rest of the grant in May. On the overall experience, it has been good, the communication can be slow at times depending on the department but nothing unexpected. So far I haven't seen any attempts to nudge projects into a specific direction or other, but it's more of "if your idea looks innovative, we give you the grant with the only conditions to not spend it on travel, legal costs or office space".

Ioana Manolescu, INRIA/Xavier Tannier, Université Paris Sud	2015 Computational Journalism Award: Ioana Manolescu and Xavier Tannier, Event Thread Extraction for Viewpoint Analysis	Europe	2015	$80,000		Google Division Google Country France Project Details The goal of the project is to automatically build topic "event threads" that will help journalists and citizens decode claims made by public figures, in order to distinguish between personal opinion, communication tools and voluntary distortions of the reality. Terms Each award includes funding of $60,000 in cash and $20,000 in computing credits on Google’s Cloud Platform. Comments from Recipient This grant has allowed my colleague Xavier Tannier (co-recipient) and myself to start thinking of applying computer science research to data journalism and citizen information on general. Work started on this money allowed us to apply for more funding from the French national research agency (ANR). For us, the end of this grant has been the end of our involvement in a collaboration with Google. I have discovered recently the monetary issues involved in Google and Facebook siphoning ad revenue by giving access to media content through their portals directly. I fear for the future of free press in Europe and I think Google's efforts to help journalists at the same time do not make up for the revenue loss. Destroying independent media endangers a democracy. Had I been aware of these issues in 2014 when I applied for the Google grant, I might finally not have done it. I know and respect great colleagues at Google, but the co.pany as a whole, IMO, has not had a positive impact on journalists. References Link to source
