I know it’s fashionable for publishers to cut back on staffing so I wonder what they think of this initiative: drone journalism.
The film above shows how a drone – more properly called an “unmanned aerial vehicle” – was used to cover this year’s record drought in the US state of Nebraska.
And the film below shows the vehicle itself, and the ease with which its pilot is able to control it. So, to add to all those other skills modern journalists are now expected to have, expect “drone piloting” to feature on future CVs.
