Description
The advent of drone technology gives journalists and filmmakers a powerful new tool– a camera that flies! We will teach you how to fly a drone to achieve the best aerial shots and other uses within the field of journalism. But most importantly, this module will cover how this new tool comes with a slew of legal and ethical questions. You must be licensed by the federal government to operate as a drone journalist. The biggest part of this course will be preparation for the FAA’s remote pilot exam. It will also introduce you to a variety of local laws and ethical guidelines that are crucial to how you fly as a drone journalist.
