PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2012
I have fond memories of watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood as a child, but it wasn’t until I saw it through the eyes of my own children that I truly began to appreciate its value. It inspired curiosity and encouraged communication about feelings. It was an emotional safe haven in a media landscape dominated by Rugrats and Spongebob. Watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood reignites my passion for public broadcasting. I am proud of all the innovative educational resources PBS and Illinois Public Media provide for our community. This new series is just one of the ways we will be supporting children, parents and teachers in central Illinois this fall. In this issue, you’ll also find an article about our new media venture at Stratton Elementary in Champaign. As part of Stratton’s microsociety, Illinois Public Media will work with students to help them become critical media consumers and responsible media producers. In addition, our station will continue to support educators across the state with Illinois Edition, a customized version of PBS LearningMedia. Illinois Edition is a robust library of more than 22,000 free digital media resources designed for classroom use and teacher professional development. Thousands of teachers are using the service to reinforce their curriculum with engaging video, interactive games and detailed lesson plans. In October, we’ll launch the ninth year of Illinois Public Media’s Book Mentor Project which provides training for volunteers and teachers, utilizes PBS KIDS online and mobile resources in the classroom and distributes more 4,300 free books each year to local Head Start and early childhood families. Education has always been central to our mission at Illinois Public Media, and Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is the latest example. This wonderful new series reminds us of our roots and excites us about the future. Fred Rogers said, “Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.” We can’t wait to offer the legacy of Fred Rogers to another generation.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood
Adding to the legacy of children’s television Behind the trolley, sneakers and puppets, Mister Rogers had a vital message that changed children’s television forever. Beginning Monday, Sept. 3, his legacy will continue with Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, a new multi-platform series inspired by Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, one of the most beloved PBS classic television series. The new show airs at 10 am and 12:30 pm weekdays and at 5:30 am Saturdays on WILL-TV. The animated version of the original Neighborhood of Make Believe features a four-year-old Daniel Tiger as the star of the show who talks directly to the audience, inviting them into his world. It’s the first series from The Fred Rogers Company since Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and is produced in association with Out of the Blue Enterprises, which also developed SuperWhy!—bringing together today’s leading creators of children’s media and educational technology. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is based on the next generation of the original Mister Rogers’ characters who have grown up and now have preschoolers of their own.
The show’s stories revolve around Daniel and his friends, using musical strategies grounded in Fred Rogers’ landmark curriculum and music. Each episode works with a website that includes free, interactive games for kids, online resources for parents and teachers, as well as other educational content.
PBS KIDS lineup changes take effect Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood is another important component of the overall PBS KIDS offerings which, according to February 2012 Nielsen national program ratings, took the top four spots for kids ages 2 to 5 with Curious George, The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!, SuperWhy! and Dinosaur Train. In addition, PBS KIDS programs won 12 Daytime Emmy Awards for children’s programming in 2011, more than any other broadcast or cable network, for the 14th consecutive year. See page 9 for changes to the WILL-TV schedule for kids programs. PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2012 1

Call the Midwife
comes to America A new series based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth tells colorful stories of midwifery and families in London’s East End in the 1950s. Call the Midwife—the highest rated drama in BBC history—follows the experiences of Jenny Lee, a young woman raised in the wealthy English countryside, as she begins working as a midwife in the poorest area of the city. The drama comes to WILL-TV in six parts beginning at 7 pm Sunday, Sept. 30.
U of I journalism students report from Turkey To deepen their understanding of Islam and the diversity of Muslim societies, nine University of Illinois journalism students spent a semester learning about Islam and researching the role of Turkey as a bridge between the West and the Middle East. Under the guidance of journalism professor Nancy Benson, the students reported stories from Turkey, a secular Muslim country of 75 million people. They explored a wide variety of issues, producing a half-hour television special airing on WILL-TV at 9:30 pm Thursday, Sept. 27. The program highlights the role of Islam in daily life, the debate among Turkish women over whether to wear a 2 PATTERNS • SEPTEMBER 2012

Beyond the Tie-Dye:
Uni students look at counterculture period in C-U During the height of protests against the Vietnam War on the University of Illinois campus, students confronted the National Guard, conducted sit-ins to protest recruiting on campus by defense contractors and chemical companies, and met in “hippie” houses in the area where the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts is today.
s Students gathered on the steps of the Auditorium on May 8, 1970.
People were protesting a lot of things at once: against Vietnam, for civil rights, for women’s rights, and weren’t willing to wait any longer for change, said Katherine Gorski, who was on campus at the time. “I think the part that I liked about campus at that point was just the comradeship you felt with everybody …,” she said.
Beyond the Tie-Dye: Counterculture in Champaign-Urbana, 1965-1975 is a new radio documentary and series by Urbana University Laboratory High School students about that era. (continued page 19)
Focus has new host; Talk of the Nation debuts Live Focus shows return and NPR’s Talk of the Nation debuts on WILL when AM 580 unveils a new weekday program lineup beginning Tuesday, Sept. 4. Craig Cohen is the new host of Focus, which continues to air at 10 am, followed by Fresh Air, which moves from 1 pm to 11 am weekdays. Craig, who is also Illinois Public Media director of news and public affairs, said Focus will remain much the same as it was under longtime host David Inge, who retired June 30. “It will still be a thoughtful, respectful conversation about the issues and ideas affecting our world.”

s Neal Conan
substitute host for Focus. At NPR station WITF, he launched the station’s first daily talk/call-in program and became the permanent host of the award-winning show. WILL staff member Travis Stansel, a former Focus and Afternoon Magazine producer, is acting as interim producer for Focus as the station conducts a search for a permanent producer.
It will also be more interactive. “We will continue to invite people to call in during the show, but our goal is also to continue the conversation after the show online and through social media.”
Talk of the Nation, airing from 1-2 pm, features host Neal Conan offering listeners the opportunity to join discussions with decision-makers, authors, academicians and artists from around the world on topics from breaking news, science and education to religion and the arts. “It’s one of NPR’s most popular shows. We’re thrilled to be able to add it to our lineup,” Craig said. Each Friday, Talk of the Nation turns its attention to news and issues about science and technology, on the equally popular Talk of the Nation Science Friday with Ira Flatow.
While WILL-AM’s Morning Edition host from 1995-2002, Craig was a regular
Fresh Air will be repeated at 7 pm and Focus repeated at 8 pm each weeknight.
The new program will be one hour because of a tightened budget, Craig said. “But it also challenges us to make every hour as vibrant and engaging as possible.”

Teaming up with Stratton to change education A few weeks before the start of classes, teachers at Champaign’s Stratton Leadership and Microsociety School were participating in new learning with help from Illinois Public Media. Their fresh knowledge is guiding the school’s students in assessing the news and information needs of their newly-launched mini-democracy, as well as in producing media reports. Charles West, Stratton’s site coordinator and one of those involved in writing the grant funded by the school district’s U.S. Department of Education Magnet School Assistance Program, thinks the microsociety focus “switches the paradigm” in a big way for elementary education. “Technology is the hook that captures students’ interest, but it isn’t about the technology,” he said. “It’s about encouraging students to better understand numerous components of our society by having them put together the information and stories that explain those aspects.” David Grove, an information technology teacher’s assistant, thinks the program will break down barriers for students who are struggling with limits on future possibilities. He notices these pressures begin to surface in third through fifth grades. “At that point, students start seeing themselves more in terms of their aptitudes and limitations,” he

said. “I think the microsociety will liberate them to think about themselves and their futures differently.” Both agree that WILL’s commitment to community programming, such as WILL Connect’s series of recent reports on hunger and local foods, along with the expertise of mentoring youth in telling the stories of their communities, make them the ideal media partner for this new venture.
Community Cinema launches new season Illinois Public Media kicks off the 20122013 season of its monthly Community Cinema series with Half the Sky, inspired by Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, the widely acclaimed book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. A free screening of two segments from the four-hour film and a discussion of related issues will be held at 6 pm Tuesday, Sept. 11, in Robeson Rooms A & B of the Champaign Public Library. The segments address gender-based violence and economic empowerment. Filmed in 10 countries, Half the Sky follows Kristof, WuDunn and celebrity activists America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde as they share the stories of courageous individuals who are forging meaningful solutions in health care, education and economic empowerment for women and girls around the globe. The film, part of an Independent Lens special presentation, airs on WILL-TV at 8 pm Oct. 1-2.

The programs include stories of students arrested in protests, participating in classes when rocks began sailing through the windows and manning crisis intervention centers for students experiencing the rapid social changes of the time. But the programs also delve into how the counterculture movement spurred alternative business models in C-U and what lasting effects the counterculture movement had on participants. A five-part series by the students will air Monday-Friday, Sept. 17-21, on Morning Edition on WILL-AM and FM and at 12:40 pm on AM’s The Afternoon Magazine. Their one-hour documentary airs at 6 pm Saturday, Sept. 22, on WILL-AM 580. The students interviewed 16 men and women, including
Gorski. The documentary, based on interviews conducted by the Uni High 2015 graduation class, is produced by Aishwarya Gautam, Shruti Vaidya and Sarah Yockey, and features different stories from those included in the series. Dave Dickey of Illinois Public Media and Uni High teacher Janet Morford directed the project, a collaboration of Uni High students and Illinois Public Media. Others interviewed were Richard Adkins, Nathaniel Banks, Debbie Cox, Vern Fein, Victor Fein, James Holiman, Joseph Miller, Renee Pollack, Mark Rubel, Howie Schein, Clarence Shelley, Phil Strong, Hester Suggs and Bill Taylor.
