United Nations Correspondents Association
The United Nations Correspondents Association has, under its umbrella, three vital sections: UNCA Journalism, UNCA Photography and UNCA Caricature and Design. All three ensure a direct outlet of information to the general public. UNCA is the pulse of the United Nations, upholding the values of democracy, liberty, and freedom of expression. The journalists guarantee complete transparency into the workings of the UN Committees through their detailed articles. The photographers provide a frontline view of global affairs, and caricaturists put a fun spin on conflicts, simultaneously conveying vital information.
Whether you choose to be a reporter, a photographer, or a caricaturist, one thing is for sure: in your time as a UNCA member, you will learn the principles of ethics, democracy, freedom of speech, and transparency.
Do you have what it takes to tell the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Journalism
Journalism is more than just reporting - it is a form of storytelling, questioning the facts and unearthing secrets veiled right in front of you. As a journalist, it will be your turn to blend facts with perspectives and originality into pieces that can inform and interest others.
You will interpret committee proceedings and construct articles that combine accuracy with your own writing styles. You will cover multiple forms of writing— from news reports and opinion editorials that will test your ability to bring crucial committee proceedings to life, to fluffs and features that will showcase your creative take on the unfolding drama. With each piece you write, you will be tested to think critically and express your thoughts clearly.
Your work will be more than passive observation. You will be diving into action by discovering secret moles, discerning subtle shifts in alliances, holding interviews with delegates in the form of press conferences, exposing misconduct – and spinning the narrative which shapes public opinion. In your time as a journalist, you will ask questions nobody else asks and spot answers nobody else spots. This will enable you to produce gripping articles that readers will resonate with.
Photography
The unconventional Aravali Model United Nations Correspondents Association - Photography Committee plays a crucial role in preserving the energy, emotions, and critical moments that define each session. Photography is more than just capturing images; it is about storytelling. Through meticulously composed frames, photographers freeze moments of collaboration, tension, and triumph, highlighting the spirit of global diplomacy.
As press photographers, you are the visual storytellers of AMUN, responsible for capturing the heart of news, lifestyle features, and dynamic debates. With every frame, you will highlight significant moments and bring attention to critical issues, ensuring that every pivotal moment is captured with precision and creativity.
But photography goes beyond documentation—it is an art of observation. It’s not just about what you see, but how you see it. Your camera is a tool of perspective, a means to unveil the intensity, passion, and hidden emotions that shape every negotiation and resolution.
"Photography is the story that one fails to put into words." This is your opportunity to narrate that story—one moment, one image, one vision at a time
Caricature and Design
Caricature is the heartbeat of Model United Nations, and sheds light on intricate global issues theough humor and without bias.
In MUN, caricature encourages delegates to view the world through a lighter, more imaginative lens, helping them step into the shoes of diverse perspectives while creating space for humor and creativity to thrive. It’s not just about simplifying issues; it’s about reshaping the way we approach them, breaking down barriers, and encouraging innovative views.
Caricature is where diplomacy becomes dynamic; delegates aren't just participants—they're the storytellers, the visionaries who leave behind the monotony of formality and embrace creativity, wit, and collaboration.
Whether you wish to leave a lasting impact on the world of MUN while enhancing your skillset: from critical thinking and communication to creativity and collaboration, or are interested in shaping the future of global dialogue and making a meaningful difference, caricature provides an endless variety of opportunities to those who join.
