What is
Our Mission
News Literacy?
NLP advances the
development and
teaching of news literacy
in K-12 education.
Any comprehensive media
literacy program must start
with news literacy, an essential
foundation of the discipline.
Speci昀椀cally, news literacy:
•
Seeks to teach students how to think
about the news and information they
consume, not what to think.
•
Places an emphasis on developing a
healthy skepticism about news and
information, without becoming cynical.
•
Is committed to the First
Amendment and the conviction
that a free press is a cornerstone of
democracy.
•
Demonstrates a nonpartisan focus
on speci昀椀c, clear learning standards.
•
Is a fundamental component of any
comprehensive civics program.
Our Vision
All students in the United
States are skilled in
news literacy before they
graduate high school, giving
them the knowledge and
ability to participate in civic
society as well-informed,
critical thinkers.
