The U.S. is 64th out of 180 in the World Press Freedom Index.
Reporters Without Borders uses economic, political, legislative, security and sociocultural indicators to analyze each country’s press freedoms. The United States, a country founded on First Amendment rights, including a free press and free speech, received a “problematic” score of 62 out of 100. But where there is news literacy, there is hope. After using our resources, 81% of students recognized that a free press is vital to a healthy democracy! When students understand their First Amendment rights, they value a free press. That’s where you come in.
All gifts matched in support of a free press!
Students with news literacy skills are more likely to challenge misinformation. Set up a monthly donation and help us reach more kids every day.
This month, all new monthly gifts will be annualized and doubled! For example, a $10 monthly gift will be multiplied by 12 and receive a $120 matching gift!
Thank you to the PB&K Family Foundation for helping us reach more students this month with their generous matching gift contribution.
Why monthly?

Monthly donors are a critical part of any nonprofit. Consistent monthly gifts provide NLP with the stability to focus on our mission and grow our impact, month after month and year after year.
Whether you give $5 or $50, every drop in the well helps us challenge misinformation and write a fact-based future.
