CEO Charles Salter on why ending misinformation isn’t NLP’s goal
The News Literacy Project President and CEO Charles Salter recently joined entrepreneur Steve Harper’s podcast, The Ripple Effect, to talk about his professional journey and NLP’s mission.
Salter talked about the people who most impacted his career and why his social media algorithm serves up cat videos. He also explained why ending misinformation is not NLP’s goal. Rather, it’s working to ensure all students practice news literacy.
“Our ultimate goal as an organization is to solve this problem at a systemic level,” Salter said. “We want to see every student in the United States graduate high school skilled in news literacy. We think it’s a fundamental life skill for the 21st century.”
