International Press Corps


Dear Delegates,

I am honored to welcome you all to the first session of CISAMUN. I am Mehul Singh, and I am the Chair for International Press Corps. Through my MUNing journey, I have been fortunate to participate in a number of MUNs as a journalist in Press Corps. This has allowed me to grasp the importance of the task of negotiating multiple opinions that journalists deal with. I believe that it is the presentation of these opinions that shapes public opinion, and as journalists, it is the duty of the press corps to sift through these opinions and report the truth as far as possible.

Through the course of this conference, you will be given a media organization and equipped with the task to present an OP-ED on the agendas and the committee simulations. It is very important to note that your report is not a mere summary but your opinion on the issue. Please note that you will also be required to do some research on the agenda of your committee. Through the course of the committee, you may be required to submit transcribed interviews to give not only your opinion but also that of other delegates present in the committee. Correspondents will also be expected to attend press briefings of various committees, in which, delegates will be questioned and made accountable for their actions and decisions.Furthermore, please stay updated with the current events to aid you in the committee.

Lastly, you must remember that you have been bestowed with an incredible power to express your own opinions, please do not take that lightly.

I am looking forward to seeing at the conference. May the munning begin!

Regards,
Mehul Singh
Chairperson IPO
