Red tape snarls drone deployment for journalists

April 19, 2016 by John Jarvis Leave a Comment

At first blush, journalists using drones to gather information for high-risk or investigative news stories sounds like a good idea. After all, such unmanned aircraft systems can be sent into dangerous (or geographically challenging) news situations where life and limb might be at risk.

With drone technology, potential pitfalls are worth the risk

January 23, 2015 by John Jarvis Leave a Comment
