For most of 2017, I have been working with Matt Waite, the founder of the University of Nebraska Drone Journalism Lab and Mickey Osterreicher, the general counsel of the National Press Photographers Association helping journalists learn to safely and legally fly drones. The three of us, along with Jon Resnick of DJI and Dr, Katy Culver of the University Wisconsin, have drafted a set of drone journalism guidelines that we hope will help you navigate your way through a tangle of local, state and federal concerns about the future of this technology.
