Aljazeera - Listening Post - Drones

Caught this yesterday whilst channel hopping and thought it would be worth a share. How drones are affecting journalism...

I noticed Tim Pool got his face in this, speaking "with authority".
AFAIA, "Citizen journalist" Tim Pool';s only experience of UAV jounalism (despite having received 100';s thousands of dollars in donations and sponsorhsips) was to buy a parrot ARdrone and subsequently park it up tree. End of.

Good news item though, thanks.

ETA: Ian Thompson interviewed also, bless.

An interesting news article - plenty of food for thought there. I just hope that the journalists don';t ruin it for everyone in their selfish rush to use the technology.

Unfortunately journalists probably will be the first to ruin it for everyone because I guess they would probably be the likeliest candidates to be a) Flying over crowded people and, b) Inexperienced at the controls.
