NBC News joins the News Literacy Project

Updates

NBC News has joined the News Literacy Project as a participating news organization, becoming the third major television network to enroll in the national effort to help middle school and high school students discern fact from fiction in the digital age.

NBC is the 10th news organization to enlist with NLP. It joins The New York Times, ABC News, USA Today, CBS’s 60 Minutes, The Washington Post, CNN, NPR, The Associated Press and the Los Angeles Times in supporting the News Literacy Project.
