Student journalist Chelan Cuevas turns rejection into a story – blending humour with honesty – tracing the awkward emails, unanswered messages, and quiet self-doubt that come with starting out in journalism. What begins as a search for an interview becomes something more personal: a case study in resilience, adaptability, and the uncomfortable art of failing.
This story explores why rejection isn’t just inevitable in journalism – it’s an essential part of the learning experience. And sometimes, the only way forward is through the noes.
