All my photography course work in journalism was shot on film; however in the news room it was all digital.
When asked, photojournalists I worked with be them professor, student, or professional, discussed photos as language. You learn to speak in film because it forces an understanding of the fundamentals.
In photo j the shots are not staged and you can maybe get two shots before the news is gone. That feels like film.
Film is also what people imagine when they think of authenticity. Those grains have very ’ dont quote the old magic to me… ’ vibe
IMO once you get the fundamentals and feel film is for art and expression. You’d be mad not to use digital for work or volume. Film doesn’t scale vertically or horizontally without mad cash and skills
