DZTV: Media Use of Drones to Cover the News

How the media uses drones and what the rules are that they follow.

We are seeing more and more use of drones by the media to cover all types of news events, from breaking news, feel-good stories or, in our case, emergencies and disasters.

See this Disaster Zone TV show on How the Media Uses Drones.  

In it, their processes and procedures for employing drones is covered, along with a little bit on the type of equipment they use. I think you will find it of interest. Like everything else, this is a dynamic environment with a new tool that can do many different types of things. I expect they will find new uses and they work with the technology in the future.
