Publicity, Design & Media Committee
The Publicity, Design & Media Committee is split into 2 wings - Publicity and Design & Media. Publicity is responsible for MDC's publicity platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Telegram.

The committee also directs the distribution of the Moot Book.
