无人机新闻,美国新闻传播新景观

Drone Journalism, a New Media Landscape of American Journalism and Communication

美国无人机新闻的萌芽与无人机技术的进步息息相关。2011年11月,内布拉斯加-林肯大学建立"无人机新闻实验室",此时它以学院派的研究实践活动为主要表现形式。2014年9月,联邦航空管理局首次准予6家影视公司从事商业无人机试验。3个月后,11家新闻机构被许可开展无人机新闻试验,无人机新闻正式进入业界应用试验,从而过渡到制度化发展的早期阶段。无人机低廉的价格、简单的操作技术及迥异的视觉体验,使无人机新闻有可能成为美国媒体群雄逐鹿的新手段,成为世界媒体的新景观。

The developing technology of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles has great roles when the Drone Journalism appeared in American. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln established a Drone Journalism Lab in November, 2011. It formally indicated the germination of Drone Journalism. Many universities began to study and practice Drone Journalism and they headlined the use of drone in news gathering. In 2014 September, the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) gave permission to six movie and television filming companies to use commercial drone for aerial photography for the first time. There months later, FAA gave clearance to eleven news organizations to test drones for news gathering. So Drone Journalism has officially been in a period of the industry application test, in an early stage of the system development. The drone is easy to be operated, can shot an aerial view and its price is very low. So it would be a new competitive tool for American media, become the new landscape of the world media.
