The Bill will also increase punishments and fines for untrained journalists.
For persons with a first degree in other courses, the new Bill will demand that they obtain a postgraduate certificate in Journalism, Media Art, Communication or related field from any other higher institution in Nigeria or elsewhere.
Why this matters: The Nigerian Journalism space has been experiencing major shakeups in recent years. The media faces issues with fake news, dwindling revenues, and perceived creative government clampdowns.

Some of the country’s biggest online media publications do not even have founders with journalism degrees, neither do they emphasise this when recruiting.
