Designation: International Press Team Reporter

Location: Dimapur, Nagaland
The International Press Delegation allows its participants to act as unbiased journalists who report on the proceedings of each simulation in the conference.

Your work will be published in the daily newsletter of the NEIMUN conference, The Pinnacle Times, which is read by all NEIMUN participants and has a wide online readership across the globe.

Articles written by reporters are then published in The Pinnacle Times.

A list of all committees and the topics that are to be discussed during the NEIMUN conference can be accessed from the NEIMUN website.
