WITH ALAN MILLER, FOUNDER OF<br />
THE NEWS LITERACY PROJECT<br />
George Sifakis: Where have you seen your<br />
work have the greatest impact?<br />
News Lit. Project<br />
Alan Miller: Our greatest impact has been<br />
with the next generation, middle school, and<br />
high school students specifically. They are<br />
living in the most complex information<br />
ecosystem in history, one that they did not<br />
create and are not well equipped to navigate.<br />
They've got more good and credible<br />
information available to them literally at their<br />
fingertips than at any other time. But it's<br />
competing for their attention with<br />
exponentially more information that's not<br />
intended to inform in an accurate, fact-based,<br />
dispassionate, and contextual way but to<br />
persuade, sell, misinform, exploit, and<br />
inflame. So how do they navigate that<br />
landscape where they can sort the news from<br />
the noise, the credible, from the uncredible,<br />
and the actionable from the exorable?<br />
Alan: For the first dozen years, this was our<br />
sole focus. Now it remains a prime focus by<br />
reaching students through educators in every<br />
state in the country to empower them to do this<br />
in a way that is responsible, credible, and that<br />
really lifts their voices. I've seen through my<br />
experience in classrooms, anecdotes, and our<br />
data that this critical thinking skill is essential in<br />
the information age, and it is incredibly<br />
empowering and transformative for young<br />
people in particular.<br />
George: And the News Literacy Project works<br />
with so many communities across America to<br />
implement your solutions, specifically in course<br />
criteria. How does that all work?<br />
