Jessica Lawrence, a student of grade XI will be chairing the International Press at the NewMUN 2019. Having attended 4 MUNs, she considers it a platform where one can voice out their opinions on global issues, broaden their perspective on global scenarios and simultaneously enhance their skills in debating and negotiating alike. Furthermore, she also acknowledges the crucial role that journalists play in the decision-making process as they convey information to the citizens on the policies being made by the decision-making system, thereby sustaining its transparency and credibility. If conveyed in the right way by an unbiased journalist, it ensures that the decisions made are in accordance with the people’s will and helps avoid the misconceptions revolving them. Hence it is vital that a journalist accomplishes the above in order to maintain a healthy two-way conversation between the government and its citizens. Besides her passion for debating and reporting, she enjoys reading news articles, playing badminton and cooking. She would like to make the most of this opportunity by guiding the aspiring journalists into the world of journalism and make this experience worthwhile.
