Within two to three hours of adjournment of a meeting, a press release in both English and French is posted on the Section’s website, giving a blow-by-blow account as well as an overview.</p> <p>Coming from political science, international affairs and journalism backgrounds, Press Officers also have to have good ears and fast fingers, often “taking it from the floor” – writing a synopsis at the same time while listening to a speaker deliver a statement. That summary must accurately render in concise, clear words, the gist of what is being said.</p> <p>Many times, Press Officers will have a written copy of a delegation’s intervention and must quickly encapsulate eight or nine pages into one to three paragraphs. The capacity for synthesizing or "l'esprit de synthèse" guides the Section and its Press Officers.</p> <p>Carefully reviewed by Editors and Editorial Assistants who check the accuracy, terminology and writing quality of draft copies, these press releases are jargon-free, easily understood synopsises for the public, press, Governments and civil society to keep informed of international issues being discussed in the Security Council, General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, as well as other United Nations bodies.</p> <p>The Meetings Coverage Section is part of the Content and Media Services Branch of the News and Media Division.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> </main> <div class="sidebar_first sidebar col-md-3" id="sidebar_first"> <aside class="section" role="complementary"> <div class="views-element-container in-progress-unhq block block-views block-views-block-home-press-prog-block block-un3-press-views-block-home-press-prog-block" id="block-un3-press-views-block-home-press-prog-block"> <h2 class="blue-line--left mt-8 fs-4 block-title"> In progress at UNHQ </h2> <div class="block-content"> <div><div class="view view-home-press view-id-home_press view-display-id-prog_block js-view-dom-id-082b8e4783d47cbfa09da9213aa7a97b72b296f88e5471407b059ca8c20dca35"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-title title-bg-grey-center"><span class="field-content"><a href="/en/live" hreflang="en">Live Meetings Coverage</a></span></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="views-element-container highlights block block-views block-views-block-highlights-new-block-1 block-un3-press-views-block-highlights-new-block-1" id="block-un3-press-views-block-highlights-new-block-1"> <h2 class="blue-line--left mt-8 fs-4 block-title"> Highlights </h2> <div class="block-content"> <div><div class="view view-highlights-new view-id-highlights_new view-display-id-block_1 js-view-dom-id-5813ab53c1586f9c0b3098123ab29a7a5bb04407fec878fe1d501c5e626d57c4"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-field-thumbnail-image"><div class="field-content"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/uploads/2024/01/SC_Round-Up_2022_thumbnail.jpeg?itok=ugaJiSpG" width="100" height="100" alt="SC RoundUp 2022" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-alternative-link"><div class="field-content"><a href="/en/highlights/security-council-activities" hreflang="en">Highlights of the Security Council Activities</a></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-date-location"><div class="field-content"></div></div> </div> <div class="views-row"> <div class="views-field views-field-field-thumbnail-image"><div class="field-content"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/uploads/2024/01/GA77_thumbnail.jpeg?itok=XFBTFIhj" width="100" height="100" alt="UNGA77" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> </div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-alternative-link"><div class="field-content"><a href="/en/2024/ga12579.doc.htm">Highlights of General Assembly 78th Session</a></div></div><div class="views-field views-field-field-date-location"><div class="field-content">New York, 5 Sep. -
