Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: Children, Television, and Fred Rogers
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: Children, Television, And Fred Rogers addresses the enduring influence and importance of Fred Rogers' work in children's television. The contributors represent a wide range of disciplines (art, psychology, medicine, social criticism, theology, music, and communications). Fred Rogers began his television career in 1951 at NBC. He became program director in 1954 for the newly founded WQED-TV in Pittsburgh, the first community-supported television station in the United States. From 1954 to 1961, Rogers and Josie Carey produced and performed in WQED's "The Children's Corner", which became part of the Saturday morning lineup on NBC in 1955 and 1956. It was after Fred Rogers was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1963, with a special charge of serving children and their families through television that he developed what became the PBS series "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood".
