Nickelodeon Nation
The History, Politics, and Economics of America's Only TV Channel for Kids
Edited by Heather Hendershot

The phenomenal success of Nickelodeon reveals a great deal about the changing nature of the modern media, and about changing conceptions of childhood. Nickelodeon Nation offers a comprehensive account of the channel’s evolution, providing fascinating insights into production and programming, and the responses of children themselves.

- David Buckingham, Institute of Education, University of London

With both dispassionate market analyses and insiders’ personal accounts, Nickelodeon Nation covers the channel’s history and evolving philosophies thoroughly—like a bucket of Nick's signature green slime! Even Nicksperts’ will find new insights and understanding.

- David W. Kleeman, Executive Director, American Center for Children and Media
