Google is rolling out a series of initiatives to combat fake news and help digital publishers earn more revenue.

The plan, announced on Tuesday, comes as rivals such as Facebook and Twitter face a huge backlash for their role in spreading fake news during the 2016 presidential election.

“Quality journalism does not only matter to society because it is one of the key pillars to every functioning society and democracy — it also deeply matters to Google, to [Chief Executive] Sundar [Pichai], to myself and to so many of us,” Google Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said.

Google also revealed on Tuesday that it paid $12.6 billion to all of its publishing partners globally last year — and it drove 10 billion clicks a month to publisher sites for free.

In order to fortify that commitment, the tech firm plans to spend $300 million over the next three years on its “Google News Initiative.”

As part of the initiative, Google will tweak its algorithm to focus on “authoritative” news sources in breaking news situations, so that those outlets’ stories would appear at the top of a Google News search.

It will also implement the same process at YouTube.
