This is copied from the Google Doc used at the WikiConference NA session.
Expand Wikidata and Wikipedia coverage of newspapers and periodicals
News on Wiki is a campaign that did this last year, and could be "rebooted/ refreshed"
Group A Proposal: Newspapers on Wiki (phase 2)
What is the challenge?
People have difficulty distinguishing between real and fake news sources, even when they do a web search.
Solution: The purpose of our proposal:
To influence the Knowledge Panels on Google, Bing etc. (which are outside our direct control) by expanding Wikidata and Wikipedia coverage of newspapers and periodicals.
We would like to build on Newspapers on Wikipedia, a campaign that successfully did a "phase one" of this campaign previously
Who is our target audience for this proposal?:
Proposal is targeted to funders
First phase of project is targeted to connectors: folks who connect our project with content generators (existing Wikipedians, students, local volunteer groups, newspaper consortium of a state, etc.) These might be professors, staff of orgs with aligned goals, experienced Wikipedians with experience running edit-a-thons, or experience doing outreach to universities or other institutions...etc.
Project timeframe:
~3 month month window to plan and ~9 months to run (Jan 2020- December 2020)
Project location:
online and in person, with the focus being California to start and for testing. This phase would allow for potential model for future development to similar cases in other locales or event countries and languages down the road.
Resources needed:
Wikidata/pedia [also see above] experts, travel funding for in person meetings, UVA: back end support, support for algorithm development and data collection hours
Action needed:
Funding for the resources, recruitment and training volunteers (food during gatherings etc)
For reference, here is a previous funding proposal we put together based on Newspapers on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Newspapers/Knight_proposal_round_2
Solutions:
We would like to build on the Newspapers on Wikipedia campaign in a second phase.
