News Drones: Risks And Rewards

Over the weekend I read that actors in the latest Star Wars movie had to completely cover themselves with cloaks before walking to their trailers. When Mark Hamill asked why, the one word answer was, “Drones.”   If your organization isn’t already using a drone, chances are it’s on your wish list for 2016. According to a study conducted by the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), 15% of respondents said they are already using drones, and more than 70% of those surveyed agreed that drones would be a useful journalistic tool.
