No one knows this better than people ages 50<br />

accumulating a wealth of knowledge that only<br />
life experience can bring. Armed with this<br />
wisdom, they are a powerhouse of innovation<br />
tackling some of the greatest societal<br />
challenges of our time and inspiring others to<br />
do the same.<br />
<br />
The AARP® Purpose Prize® award supports<br />
AARP's mission by honoring extraordinary<br />
people ages 50 and older who tap into the<br />

Alan Miller<br />
Founder and CEO at<br />
News Literacy Project<br />
“Find ways to draw people to the mission who share your vision and commitment to<br />
the issue so that you can build a team. Once you’ve found your north star, let yourself<br />
be guided by it.”<br />
I founded the News Literacy Project (NLP) in 2008, with the belief that knowing how to identify credible<br />
news is an essential life skill in an information age — and that this was not being widely taught in schools.<br />
We are a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that creates tools and resources to help<br />
educators teach and the public learn how to determine what news and other information to trust, and to<br />
have the ability to be informed and engaged participants in the civic life of the country.<br />
The problem I’m trying to solve<br />
We are living in the most complex information ecosystem in history. News and credible<br />
information are competing for people’s attention with far more content that is designed to<br />
persuade, sell, mislead and misinform. Students and many in the general public lack the ability to<br />
discern what they should trust, share and act on.<br />
In a 2018 survey of 5,035 adults, researchers from the Pew Research Center presented<br />
participants with 10 statements they might see in the news and asked them to identify which<br />
ones were factual statements and which ones were opinions. Only 35 percent of the participants<br />
correctly identified all the opinion statements, while a mere 26 percent identified all the factual<br />
statements. Misinformation represents one of the greatest challenges of our time. It is<br />
undermining our public health, as well as our public life, and threatens our democracy. NLP’s<br />
mission has never been more urgent.<br />
The moment that sparked my passion<br />
In 2006, when my daughter’s middle-school teachers learned that I had won a Pulitzer Prize as a<br />
reporter at the Los Angeles Times, they invited me to speak to 175 sixth graders at the middle<br />
school about what I did as a journalist and why it mattered. After the talk, my daughter brought<br />
home 175 handwritten thank-you notes that we read aloud. I could see what had resonated with<br />
the students and had sparked an interest in news and journalism. I realized that if a lot of<br />
journalists brought their expertise and experience into America’s classrooms, this could have a<br />
meaningful impact. That was the seed that eventually took root as the News Literacy Project.<br />
