Press Corps

About the Press Corps

The IASIMUN Press Corps will serve to keep delegates updated on what’s going during the Model United Nations conference by publishing a newspaper at the end of each conference day.

The newspapers will include news articles about issues that MUN delegates are debating, feature articles about delegates, opinion pieces about controversial subjects, photos, and graphic art. Additionally, the editorial board will publish an OpEd about its stance on issues up for vote.

The Press Corps will operate out of a newsroom at Colegiul National Emil Racovita and will use Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom in the production of the daily newspaper. The Press Corps will also attend and report on daily press conferences organized by the IASIMUN secretary general and committee chairs.

The Press Corps will also update and maintain IASIMUN’s website, providing updates about the conference before, during and after it happens. We plan to post video, photos, interviews and stories. The published newspapers will also be available online in PDF format.
