International Workshop about Drones and the Media. Part of the conference series FRONTLINE FORUM: Current issues in journalism-and-media studies
“DRONES have quickly become ubiquitous in numerous sectors of society, not least in the media. The small camera-equipped flying vehicles have been called a disruptive innovation in journalism, but the view from above is also connected to a ‘surveillance gaze’ in modern society. Legal concerns and integrity issues have also in many cases limited the actual use of drones in journalism and media production. In historical perspective, drones are a recent example of how the meanings and uses of new media technologies are always subject to negotiation and experimentation.”

“Our built environment is the product of generations of ideas and values layered upon one another, but recent generations have held ideals that are incompatible with the sustainable lifestyles we must lead today.
