Drones in Journalism

Aerial pictures and videos captured by drone helping us understand how a flood has damaged an area, capturing the stunning awe of nature, or the scope of natural disaster.

Drones are used in journalism as an additional vantage point.  Aerial photographs and video footage can add an extra layer of drama to news coverage.

The skill sets required to use drones in journalism also vary with your particular use case. If you’re working as a documentarian you may need a high level of expertise in videography and photography, whereas your skill level may not need to be quite as developed for breaking news coverage. That being said, in all scenarios related to journalism your flying skills will probably need to be top notch, given that you may be flying under pressure in difficult situations, and you may only have one chance to get your shot.
