Press Corps
The Press Corps
Please note: this is a special application committee. Applications will be due September 24.
After a brief hiatus from HMUN, Press Corps is back and better than ever! The committee had been redesigned to give reporters the opportunity to make more of a substantive contribution to the conference, and there is room for a tremendous amount of creativity for Press Corps reporters.
Using a variety of media including print, photography, and video, reporters will break news to crisis committees as it happens in real time. Reporters in standing committees will interview delegates during caucuses to get the scoop on what’s going on behind-the-scenes in committee. All news and media will be uploaded to the Press Corps’ website, which will be available to all delegates, faculty advisors, and staff during the conference.
Still, these substantive tasks that reporters are expected to perform will not come at the expense of the traditionally fun atmosphere that has characterized the HMUN Press Corps. All reporters will be able to write for HMUN’s blog, the “Unmoderated Caucus,” and discuss everything from delegate fashion to creative ways to circumvent the rules of procedure.
I encourage you to apply and I sincerely look forward to Directing the Press Corps Committee at HMUN 2011.
Class Year: 2012
