There's an editorial piece in the most recent issue which clarifies that heading, basically the guy meant to say that black and white commercial analogue photography is obsolete. He quotes Howard Hopwood, Ilford Harman's Marketing Director, that sales of b&w film and paper are roughly 80% education, 10% hobbyists and 10% fine art. Then he reaffirms Silversholtz's commitment to traditional photography.
I think basically, he screwed up and didn't make himself clear. Still, the figures quoted are interesting and indicate why Ilford are fighting to retain their presence in education with their defend the darkroom campaign.
