I am a freelance journalist who has written about drones in the military context for the last four years. Interested in exploring their growing application in the civlian space, particularly their use by journalists for birdseye newsgathering, I set up this blog to track my journey and experiments with drones, the impact they are likely to have on the journalism profession particularly in areas such as investigative, war reporting, and sports journalism, as well as exploring some of the challenges this technology presents in terms of ethical considerations, privacy and safety.
