You live. You learn. You give back.
No one knows this better than people ages 50
and older, who have spent decades
accumulating a wealth of knowledge that only
life experience can bring. Armed with this
wisdom, they are a powerhouse of innovation
tackling some of the greatest societal
challenges of our time and inspiring others to
do the same.
The AARP® Purpose Prize® award supports
AARP's mission by honoring extraordinary
people ages 50 and older who tap into the
power of life experience to build a better
future for us all.
“AARP is honored to celebrate these

Alan Miller
Founder and CEO at
News Literacy Project
“Find ways to draw people to the mission who share your vision and commitment to
the issue so that you can build a team. Once you’ve found your north star, let yourself
be guided by it.”
I founded the News Literacy Project (NLP) in 2008, with the belief that knowing how to identify credible
news is an essential life skill in an information age — and that this was not being widely taught in schools.
We are a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that creates tools and resources to help
educators teach and the public learn how to determine what news and other information to trust, and to
have the ability to be informed and engaged participants in the civic life of the country.
The problem I’m trying to solve
We are living in the most complex information ecosystem in history. News and credible
information are competing for people’s attention with far more content that is designed to
persuade, sell, mislead and misinform. Students and many in the general public lack the ability to
discern what they should trust, share and act on.
In a 2018 survey of 5,035 adults, researchers from the Pew Research Center presented
participants with 10 statements they might see in the news and asked them to identify which
ones were factual statements and which ones were opinions. Only 35 percent of the participants
correctly identified all the opinion statements, while a mere 26 percent identified all the factual
statements. Misinformation represents one of the greatest challenges of our time. It is
undermining our public health, as well as our public life, and threatens our democracy. NLP’s
mission has never been more urgent.
The moment that sparked my passion
In 2006, when my daughter’s middle-school teachers learned that I had won a Pulitzer Prize as a
reporter at the Los Angeles Times, they invited me to speak to 175 sixth graders at the middle
school about what I did as a journalist and why it mattered. After the talk, my daughter brought
home 175 handwritten thank-you notes that we read aloud. I could see what had resonated with
the students and had sparked an interest in news and journalism. I realized that if a lot of
journalists brought their expertise and experience into America’s classrooms, this could have a
meaningful impact. That was the seed that eventually took root as the News Literacy Project.
