I`m searching for a grant, a fellowship or even a job so that I can work on some of this initiatives that I have,
and that I consider that are useful tools for journalists from all around the world.

Some of the projects that I did until now are :

Scrapping Facebook, identifying fake viral news, before they go viral

This can be also applied to fb comments, identifying trolls, etc

Another project that I did in the was scraping the whole medium.com website

And after that I started doing articles about different categories and tags
