The Fossil media program has a long-standing tradition of enhancing the experience of the MUN conference. With hourly broadcasts and field crew interviews with delegates, the TV program stays busy.
Katherine Johnson, Co-Producer for the event, ensures the media aspect runs smoothly. Additionally, she oversees communication with the MUN delegates. “A big challenge is communication with such a large crew… We’re spread out throughout the entire school. There’s also a lot of factors that could go wrong,” she commented.
However, looking forward, Johnson is optimistic. “We have a good crew with some underclassmen in leadership positions being taught by upperclassmen who have been in this role for a long time,” she said. “People like to branch out from their usual roles so it’s really cool. MUN is a fun time and we’ve worked really hard and it’ll be a cool time.”
MUN is full of twist and turns, complicating the roles of the media. Isabella Mahal and Liam H. Flake work on the teleprompter, constantly adapting to the incoming information from delegates and press releases. Main anchors include Olivia Doro, Sebastian Mahal, and Blake Tracer. With the Russian bias, Paisley Perlic and Alex Vantellingen will be on screen.
Behind the scenes, a 70 person crew works tirelessly to enhance the experience of the MUN delegates. Everyone from personal assistants to media leads plays a crucial role in the accuracy and authenticity of broadcasts and news releases.
