She realised television could play an important role in the education of pre- ‘school children. She researched ths idea and, in 1967, she wrote an outline for Sesame Street. Ganz Cooney presented her ideas to the TV channel she was ‘working for at the time. However, the channel rejected her ‘proposal, saying that they thought she didn't have the right ‘experience to produce a TV programme for children. As a result, ‘she set up Children's Television Workshop with a colleague, ‘and two years later they had managed to raise eight milion dollars to finance production. Even so, many people working in the television industry questioned her ability to manage such a project. This was during the 1960s, when the industry was largely controlled by men. ‘At first, Ganz Cooney didn’t want to fight to keep her role as the director ofthe production company and the producer ofthe programme. However, her husband and a colleague encouraged her to do s0, because they knew the project would fall without her involvement. This meant she became one of the first female television executives in America {In 1969, two years after her intial research, Sesame Street went on ait, and today it's stil going strong. However, Joan Ganz Cooney didn't stop there. She continued to take an interest in ‘early childhood education, and in 2007, she set up a centre to help improve children's digital literacy. | eally admire the way she has uietly got on with helping young children.
