Former Channel News Asia presenter Suzanne Jung shared an anecdote about being called to interview the UN Secretary-General on short notice while on holiday, which led to an unexpected 30-minute documentary. At the All In! Young Writers Festival 2016, she told budding journalists to "expect the unexpected" in their media careers. The annual festival hosted over 100 participants and featured workshops on journalism in print, broadcast and different writing genres. Foreign correspondent Atia Abawi also spoke, sharing her experience reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan for five years despite the challenges of wartime journalism. Festival organizers explored using social media to engage youth, with students from Republic Polytechnic live-tweeting some sessions to further online discussions.
