ModeleClarke, professional lecturer. Itgives analysis of, nonbreakingnews, but of what is going on inthe world around us.Each member of Clarke's Journalism II class is given a beat atthe beginning of the semesterand students must then establish contacts with experts on thearea and also residents.The Spring 1999 version ofthe World Watch has a different twist to it. Marist studentswill write the articles and thensend them overseas to Englandwhere a class taught by formerMarist Professor Missy Pricewill add designs and the computer layout.Price teaches graphic communication at Staffordshire University in Trenton on Stokes, England. She said students in herclass design and upload the articles that Journalism II studentsemail.According to Price, the biggest obstacle has been the communication hurdles that students face through email."The biggest problem is oneof communication, the US students and the UK studentsdon't seem to be emailing eachother like they should, to develop that sense of 'We're inthis together'," she said. "I'msure that as the end of the semester rapidly approaches theywill be in greater contact."Clarke and Price came up withthe idea while at a conferenceMarist WorldWatch is at:www.academic.marist.edu/modelewhere Clarke was presenting apaper that he and colleagueRandy Hayman had worked on.With this new addition to theprocess things are looking upfor the Marist World Watch.Clarke said he has a few visionsthat he would like to see cometrue."I would like to have theMarist World Watch be recognized as a news forum, eventually attracting prominent expertsdoing research on a particulartopic," he said.Clarke had two goals in mindwhen he established the site.The first was to increase student awareness.
