Physical Description: 6.6 cubic feet (6 records center cartons and 2 archives boxes) 
Scope and Content Note: Papers of NBC producer and writer Bob Rogers documenting his career and the television documentary projects on which he worked beginning in 1961 when a free-lance writer for NBC's “David Brinkley's Journal.” The collection also provides information on the making of television documentaries from selecting a topic to getting the final version to the studio, and shows the interaction between producer and network in deciding the perspective and depths of a documentary. The topics covered by Rogers include CIA activities in developing countries, the political situation in Israel and South Africa, presidential candidates, marijuana use, and Latin America, particularly El Salvador. Included in the project files (which are arranged chronologically) are scripts, notes, background material, budgets, interview transcripts, correspondence, memoranda, and schedules. Some of those interviewed by Rogers include Yasser Arafat, Chief M. Buthelezi, Senator Daniel P. Moynihan, Ruben Zamora, Roberto D'Abuisson, the Shah of Iran, Vladimir Sakharov, Jose Napoleon Duarte, Father Cortina, Secretary of State George Schultz, and Senator Walter F. Mondale.
