Campus Review
January 31, 2014
Across the Campus...
National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences mailing list; going back more
than 10 years to when he was on the fac-
ulty at Southern Methodist University in
Dallas. Clark explains that the academy
sends out emails asking for volunteers to
judge news stories and then review the
volunteers' credentials and decide on who
is qualified to be an Emmy judge. Since
Clark has taught journalism for 25 years,
it would seem pretty clear that he’s well-
qualified. He also notes that the Emmys
ask for judges outside the city being
judged, to avoid possible conflicts of
interest, hence his involvement with the
New York and Texas Emmys.
