Six Professions Deader Than Print Journalism

• How so? Being on the internet a little each day, as I am, has noting to do with people who think that everyone spends their whole lives and does everything online.

• So...in your mind, "troll" means someone who gives FACTS rather than delusions of social outcasts?

• You may demand it of the writer, but if the writer does not demand it, there is no economic demand. No economic demand means no demand.

• get your spelling of Malaysia right at least.

• There is a profession for which there is demand, of which this writer has not taken advantage - teaching. In particular English tuition. The opening sentence has an error of grammar! I rest my case.

• "Not everyone spends their entire lives on the internet. (Only sad people without ACTUAL lives do.)" Hmmm... something here about stones and glass houses.

• Librarian?

• Congrats. You win the award for biggest troll I have ever seen.

• Tom You're what - 20something? I'm over double that and maybe you don't remember going to the camera store (and later the local supermarket) to get photos processed. I do. Anyone who had a camera had to do this. Now, In the last 15 years I've gone to get photos made into prints ZERO times - like many people. I have no need, with color laser printers (even some inkjets) giving me good quality for my needs. So for most people, Tom your are wrong. Photo processing which use to be big business, is now a niche, and in the business world, where the $$$ is what talks, it's a dead end job.

• you know photo processors print from digital to right...currently working in one in a small town doing 2000/3000 prints from digital a day, we are hardly dead yet. niche film only labs are just that now niche, still making good money from what ive seen but they are a specialist service now.

• "Blahzay", really? Shouldn't a writer know the word is "blasé"?

• Wow, you're an asshole

• Good call on the firs 4? Bank tellers will have jobs LONG after this silly blog has posts its last asinine blog and closed down due to the fact that is has NEVER turned a profit. Many banks are EXPANDING their branch hours. TD Bank now is open 7 days a week, 360 days a year. And people still use travel agents for the convenience. Not everyone spends their entire lives on the internet. (Only sad people without ACTUAL lives do.) Many people would prefer to pay a little more to have all the research done for them. The same way that most people pay to have someone else grow heir own fruits and vegetables. John Colagrande Jr. will be begging for money on the street long before most bank tellers and travel agents (and NPO staff or school district employees for that matter) are even concerned about losing their jobs. (Of course, based on this article, John Colagrande Jr. will be begging for money some time in the next few weeks with the lack of talent, professionalism or journalism he has. Oh..and by the way....many small time local newspapers are THRIVING. Whereas almost all blogs have never made a penny in profit and never will. Again...John Colagrande Jr. will be out of a job long before most print journalists will be.

• 7. Alternative Paper Critic

• Good call on the first four. But the last two--according to your own descriptions--are just experiencing a cyclical downshift. (Which is actually the best time to look for a job in a field, at the end of a down cycle.) They seem very out of place.
