THIMUN Newspaper- (noun) Definition: 1. Editions of news transcending all others. 2. Publication used to educate readers about the on-goings of the world and the conference while delivering their daily dose of laughter. Synonyms: Passion/Laboring Editors. Antonyms: Relaxation and laziness. This year’s Munity-East press team boasts several new and returning editors, all dedicated to bringing you, the reader, accurate and interesting information about the conference. Two co-editors-in-chief lead the group. “Use your talents. They for use were made. What’s a sundial in the shade?” Johnson Lin, working as one of our coeditor-in-chiefs this year is certainly living up to his favorite quote from Benjamin Franklin. Lin is ardent about the press because he enjoys the power to publish words of adolescents for the world to see. Lin’s goal this year is to “provide a diverse and interesting paper to the readers.” The EOC also expresses that his greatest inspiration stemmed from Mr. Longbotham, who is “really enthusiastic about [the] press and has provided me great motivation to work.” As a career Johnson hopes to work with the media or in technology. During his spare time however, Johnson enjoys climbing mountains and chewing Eclipse Mints. Jason Cheng, serving as the other EOC, is completing his sixth year of MUN conferences. Cheng commented that he enjoys the experience of being in MUN because he loves the pressure of being surrounded by the best from each school and seeing the newspaper published. After all, even though the delegates are just students, they are given the right to draft resolutions and sanction nations: How much more powerful can one get? Jason has set high goals this year to further improve the conference paper: “I want the readers to feel that our newspaper is the best that they have ever read…this year we are going to change the way they (people) think by bringing them to another level of creativity! MUNITY-EAST ROCKS!”“I love to write really sarcastic articles that are dry to the point of dehydration.” said Raymond Chuang, our Assistant Editor. Raymond has always been a happy-go-lucky person, and this trait obviously reflects in his writing such as the features article, “Through the Eyes of a Dumb Delegate: ‘Common Sense, Not so Common’” and last year’s “Suits and Ties, a Tradition Demystified.” Chuang is passionate about the press because “The press is a chance for me to print out my voice, a voice that will be preserved forever on paper.” To Raymond, the conference was created as a way for students to raise awareness to today’s global issues, learn to negotiate, and to walk in the shoes of people of different ethnicities.Other schools inlcuding NEHS and ISB are also represented on the editorial staff this year. Press Advisor Mr. Longbotham “wanted to offer kids from other schools the opportunity to take on the responsibility of a title. They are important in that they can help us supervise submissions for the pre-conference issue.”Assistant Editor Andrew Tarn is a senior at National Experimental High School in Taiwan. Andrew’s dedication to journalism is the reason why he chose to join MUN press over being a delegate. The “action-tight feeling” in the pressroom, and the satisfaction of seeing his work published greatly appeal to Tarn, particularly, “the unique experience of selling newspaper in the morning.” Tarn looks to the past editors as examples and inspiration because they did a great job in bringing the newspaper to where it is today: “My predecessors on the press team have really motivated me to live up to my duties.” Assistant Editor Chuan Liu hales from the International School of Beijing and has been in MUN for four years, serving three years in press. Chuan joined MUN out of curiosity. However, as the days progressed, Liu unexpectedly “fell in love with creating the newspaper . . . and with the family-like atmosphere.” Liu stressed that, “To see everyone running under the sun and getting all soaked with sweat just to sell an extra issue was a memorable experience.” Through MUN, Liu gained valuable experiences both as a leader and an initiator. To Liu, the press serves as the witness and recorder of mankind’s attempt to improve by first raising awareness, then solving the problems. Photo editor Miko Shih is looking forward to a year of hard work. Miko said that “even though there are deadlines and work to do, I still think it’s a fun experience.” With the help of her brother Tom, a delegate, Shih became involved in the press, and he continues to serve as a great inspiration for her to work hard.Thanks to all our editors, we can look forward to a series of page-turner newspapers this year.
