Students who think journalism is modelling should quit the profession

Kenyan students who enroll in tertiary colleges countrywide have not been performing well in the industry for taking the course for fun and comparing it to modelling.

The students believe journalism should be studied as the last option when all other careers such as medicine and engineering which are termed as the best professions become difficult to attain cut marks.

Kenya Television Network Chief Investigative Editor Muhamed Ali said he is worried on the future of journalism profession as people keep turning it into entertainment industry instead of using it to present serious ideas that transform the lives of citizens.

"I am scared with the way people are turning media into a showbiz as celebrities are now the upcoming Journalists and beautiful ladies are perceived to fit the industry," Ali reiterated.

Muhamed expressed his disappointments in the way journalists ask odd questions when interviewing persons who deal with criminal activities and extra judicial killings in the country.
