The International Press Corps (IPC) represents the collective voice of global media institutions operating at the intersection of information, power, and accountability. In the contemporary international system, journalism is not merely a mechanism for reporting events, but a force that shapes public opinion, constrains political behavior, and influences policy outcomes. Through investigative reporting, real-time coverage, and narrational framing, the press plays a decisive role in determining how crises, negotiations, and institutional decisions are perceived by both domestic and international audiences.

At HarvardMUN Canada, the IPC committee will be directly integrated into the other committees. Delegates will represent major international news agencies and media organizations tasked with producing professional journalistic pieces that report on  developments unfolding across the conference. Rather than engaging in formal debates, IPC delegates will operate in real time, gathering information from committees, and responding to crisis updates as they occur. Articles, breaking news alerts, and investigative reports produced by the IPC will actively shape delegate behavior across the conference by influencing public narratives, political incentives, and institutional legitimacy. This committee puts an emphasis on analytical writing, critical judgment, and adaptability under pressure, offering a rigorous simulation of modern international journalism and its role in global governance.

As a feature committee at HarvardMUN Canada, IPC will enable delegates to take complete control of their investigative journalism skills in adaptive and ever-shifting environments. All IPC pieces will be edited by the Committee Dais and published on the HarvardMUN Canada website for viewing by delegates across the conferences, in real time, providing crucial information to a wide range of stakeholders from Coalitition leaders to environmental advocates alike. The Best Delegate will be awarded to the delegate who best upholds the principles and media tendencies of their news agency, whilst producing high-quality journalistic pieces that contribute to the broader debates happening throughout committees across the conference.
