Responsible Drone Journalism cover

Camera drones provide unique visual perspectives and add new dimensions to storytelling and accountability in journalism. Simultaneously, the rapidly expanding uses of drones as advanced sensor platforms raise new legislative, ethical and transparency issues.

Responsible Drone Journalism investigates the opportunities and dilemmas of using drones for journalistic purposes in a global perspective. Drawing on a framework of responsible research and innovation (RRI), the book explores responsible drone journalism from multiple perspectives, including new cultures of learning, flying in lower airspace, drone education and concerns about autonomous agents and big data surveillance.

By widening the discussion of drone journalism, the book is ideal for journalism teachers and students, as well as politicians, lawmakers, drone developers and citizens with an interest in the responsible use of camera drones.

"With drones an everyday feature of life, this accessible book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the challenges posed by the arrival of robotics, artificial intelligence, and autonomous agents in journalism. Astrid Gynnild and Turo Uskali’s engaging book considers the fundamental ethical, politico-legal (e.g., privacy) and socio-technical (e.g., surveillance) factors and contexts leading to the emergence and uses of responsible drone journalism. This book offers a useful framework to think about responsible research and innovation in media." - Valerie Belair-Gagnon, Director, Minnesota Journalism Center, University of Minnesota, USA
