Kevin BarberDear Delegates,

Welcome to NAIMUN XLVII Press Corps! I'll be serving as Editor-in-Chief of the Press Corps during the conference in February. I'm a junior in Georgetown College, majoring in English and philosophy. Because I also work as the Editor-in-Chief for The Hoya, the primary student-run newspaper at Georgetown, my spare time is scarce — if I had any, however, I would probably spend it going to the cinema, writing, socializing, and almost solving crossword puzzles.

The Press Corps is a unique and essential committee that aims to highlight the importance media plays in international politics. The committee's main task is to publish The NAIMUN Daily each day of the conference, which will be read by thousands of conference participants, moderators, and staff. Press Corps reporters will monitor the progress of 35 different committees, interpret breaking news and events, and cover special stories they deem newsworthy. This year will feature the incorporation of new technology, which I expect to further the Press Corps' ability to simulate the impact of multimedia in world events.

I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. Feel free to e-mail me anytime with questions, comments, or fan mail.

See you in a few months!

Kevin Barber
Editor-in-Chief, Press Corps
