SELENA RANDHAWA
SOCIAL PRODUCER AND PUBLISHING COORDINATOR, GREAT BIG STORY MAGAZINE, 2017 What was the worst moment you had on patch? I was covering this story about a strip club, and it was really tough to get a hold of the owner. When I finally did, he wanted to meet in this really dodgy bar. I got my friend to come with me because I was so scared about it. When we got there, he was the sweetest guy ever – he was like Santa Claus.
Where do you see yourself in five years? I’ve always been really adamant about human humanitarian stories. I want to be able to make short documentaries that keep spreading their message and the message of the amazing work here at CNN.
What is the most memorable interview you have done, and why?

For my final project at City, I decided to write about indigenous issues back home in Canada, so I went and sat down with a lot of indigenous youths. Their stories were quite heartbreaking, but also very important for the world to know about.
What is your fondest memory of City? Meeting the people I did the course with. We’ve become lifelong friends. Even when we were all stressed out, we just had so many funny moments together.
What advice would you give to a journalist just starting out their career? Never limit yourself. Be open to writing a variety of different stories, and do different things. Come out of your comfort zone and – and I know this is really clichéd – but that’s where all of your best opportunities are.
