Dedicated to the mission

NLP’s successes would not be possible without the generosity of individuals across the country and around the world. Each dollar donated is a commitment to news literacy education and a brighter future for all.

What one supporter says:

“Youth of today will be our leaders of tomorrow and they need to be able to discern what is true in the current media.”

Cynthia Arnold, NLP supporter
