Address from the Executive Board
“Freedom of the press is the mortar that binds together the bricks of democracy — and it is
also
the open window embedded in those bricks. ”
~ Shashi Tharoor
Dear Delegates,
Welcome to RMUN 2019!! We are extremely honored and excited to serve as the council for the
International Press Corps.
The press has the privilege and responsibility of keeping the public informed and keeping those
in power accountable!
Over the course of the two days, you will assume the role of an international news agency and
cover the events of the conference through that perspective.
Each news organization is unique in its tone, audience, slant, and editorial stance. As a
journalist, you will be breaking stories, holding delegates accountable to their positions,
communicating breakthroughs to the entire conference, along with exhibiting your flair in writing
and eye for minute details. You will get to interview delegates, write news articles,
release press briefs and opinion pieces.
The role of the Press Corps at RMUN 2019 and in the workings of international democracy cannot
be understated.
We hope that the first-hand experiences you will get as a journalist will further instill in you
the importance of a free and independent press.
We are here to assist you while you prepare for the committee and beyond.
Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you might have - even if it’s just getting
to know each other better!
We look forward to meeting you all and hope you have fun at this year’s conference!
Prajval Sairam Krishnan (Head of Press)
