SNN - SOFIMUN News Network (Official media body of SOFIMUN)

 

The SNN is the official media body of the Sofia International Model United Nations conference. The media will be set up to keep all participants in the conference informed about the latest events and developments in the various forums and lobbying areas.

 

The SNN media is part of the conference organs. Achieving its aim to keep all SOFIMUN participants up-to-date, the media will have everyday issues. It will be realized into three main directions – a PDF version, formed as a newspaper, a website with constant refresh of the newest happenings and video broadcasts – interviews, news, etc.

 

The purpose of SNN is to serve as central information point on all important things that happen on SOFIMUN. Its journalist team will be selected through international application (same as for the rest of the SOFIMUN organs) and will have an editor in chief, governing the whole media sources on the conference.

 

The journalist team will broadcast the work of each committee;  pay specific attention to any delegate and his work; write articles and take interviews from participants during the SOFIMUN. Each SOFIMUN organ will have at least 2 journalists, carefully following its work and broadcasting the latest news on world issues that are of concern of the UN bodies being represented at SOFIMUN. Therefore, the SNN is the place where all of you wishing to be active as journalist and are interested in the media field can show what you've got! You will represent the strong voice and influence of the medias in the modern world. What you write constitutes the principal source of information on the developments within the workshops at the delegate’s disposal. It fundamentally influences their decision-taking during the negotiations and the sessions.

 

WHY IN SNN?

Participation in SNN as a journalist offers you a unique opportunity to act and work as a real journalist - realistic insight into the work of a journalist reporting on an international conference, the possibility of deepening your knowledge in journalism and a specific area of the international relations, the opportunity of meeting over 150 people from around the world sharing your passion for journalism and world affairs.

 

WHAT IS EXPECTED?

Being a journalist also brings responsibilities, from which among the most essential are: proficient English, talented writing, fluently use of technical devices (computer, camera), adoption of critical approach without loosing accuracy, team-working and flexibility.

 

You can select which media you want to represent by the following list. SNN offers you to choose between popular medias, separated into two general groups: the pan-European medias of the European Union, EURONEWS and EUOBSERVER and 8 other international medias in English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, German.
