Op the only way journalism will 'disappear' as you said is if the practitioners themselves fail to adapt or flow with the ever-changing demands of the modern world. That said,don't just assume tha we 've all stopped buying papers. I still like my news "tangible". You know hard copy over e-papers and I am sure there many others like yours truely. 2 Likes |

@Op. Social Media Manager was never really a profession in Nigeria. Nigerians business people are typically trying to bootstrap and go lean; they want to do everything by themselves - design logo, handle copy writing, build their website, design and print fliers, etc. At the end of the day, they burn out. From experience it is easy to handle SMM for foreigners than Nigeria. And even the big telcos often employ expatriates. 1 Like |

We should be more scared, at work I wrote a script that automated something, and I sat down to ask myself, could I be replaced if my job was automated by a smart computer and that's not even AI or Machine Learning I wrote, trust me computers are much more effective and efficient than human resource. Not just these but a lot more jobs might be canned. 1 Like 1 Share |

TheMainMan:I want to believe you didn't do your research very well before putting up this stuff about journalism. I was going to quickly take you through McLuhan's assertions but it will only compound your confusion and your shallow knowledge on the subject matter. Now, here are some few reasons I have for you. 1. Before the advent of newspaper, information were written and posted for public consumption and when newspaper came, it has remained unsuppressible. Radio came, and people fell in love with the new technology postulating that the invention would announce the end of newspaper , instead, it only emboldened it. Newspaper didn't die. Television came, and what was said of newspaper was said of radio, but radio and newspaper still remain very relevant. Now, the advent of the internet, television has refused to phase out likewise radio and newspaper. Truth is, the advent of internet has increased unprofessionalism and have lowered the ethics of the profession. Today, almost everybody is a publisher online(citizen journalism) which has given rise to plethora of litigations in the law courts owing to publication of falsehood. In the US, Trump is still having his election probed after an allegation of Russia interference. So, you are very wrong. Be informed that in the US, and UK, newspaper business have continued to thrive enormously, they subscribe and almost all communities have their local newspaper. know this that in Nigeria, it's compulsory for government organizations to publish their adverts on newspaper. The paper-surface lovers will never trade their eyes for the eye-disturbing graphics of the phones or computers. They simply subscribe. Therefore it can't phase out, instead, the arrival of a new technology will only enhance the work of these organizations. Virtually all newspapers have an online platforms these days where they dole out information to online subscribers and it's the reporters doing the job. What you can say is, journalists must be digital, too. Paper and pen is very relevant . 2. The press is the fourth estate of the realm, watching the other three Estates and retaining the confidence of the electorate. Government is not trusted but the press is trusted. Therefore, journalism will continue to be pivotal towards the stability of the society. Donald Trump has continued to rely on his Twitter account and hasn't had a day off of trouble. His greatest undoing will be his social media account. He has been calling the media 'fake' and he has been finding things difficult. He doesn't want to accept the fact that he needs the media so he will fail as the media will not stop reporting him bizarrely. Journalists and their media houses endorse any presidential candidate of the US, a tradition which has overrided time. If journalism must phase out, then it will come from the west. Recently, when hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and The Dominican, there wasn't internet service but it was reported. Who reported it? It was flesh and blood! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I disagree with the journalism part. To be a journalist for a top TV station, the likes of CNN, Al Jazeera, Fox or our national Channels TV, you still need to be professionally certified. While continuous development using the online provisions you mentioned is necessary it still cannot substitute for an actual certified program. 1 Like |

jamesbridget13:Maybe the op actually meant "print Journalism" not "broadcast journalism". To be sincere with you the future of "print journalism" in Nigeria is bleaking and if care is not taking the profession will die a natural death because the socio-economy terrain in this country isn't favourably. The profession is not lucrative enough and the risk involve is greater. As a communication student, I would rather go for broadcast journalism or public relations better still Advertising(hot cake) |

TheMainMan: There's more to journalism than newspaper my friend. We have investigative journalism that don't even do prints, strictly video. Btw we still have newspapers the medium has just changed from physical to electronic. The most viewed website, weighed average, in Nigeria is the vanguard newspaper site, so my dear journalism is still very lucrative, it's just paper print that's going away. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ibime: Accountants disappearing? I laugh in Chinese. Accountants can never go out of vogue. There's no software no matter ho complex it is that can replace what accountants do. The roles will definitely evolve to accommodate technology but will never go out of vogue cos not every company will be able to use technology and the ones that can will never trust their finances to technologies. The article is even mixing accountants and financial planners with banking processes. No matter how sophisticated a banks technologies are, they will always need an accountant to interpreter those figures. People mistake accountants for bankers. That was how a man walked into an audit firm I once worked with to inquire about how to set up an audit firm because he worked and retired as an auditor in a bank. I nearly burst into laughter that day. Its like saying economics as a profession will disappear. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
