Anyone could be a journalist, even you!

The reality is that there is both good journalism and bad journalism; serious and unserious press — much like the distinction between soft-sell, entertainment-focused reporting and serious, investigative journalism, as we were taught by Professors Lai Oso, Jide Jimoh, and Tunde Akanni. In this article, I contend, in contrast to Olufemi, that journalism remains a profession. The difference is that it has become an increasingly vulnerable one, and there is little that can be done to halt this evolution.
