 Following up on our post of a month ago on drones likely coming to journalism, there's more news being generated by the ever-active Matt Waite, head of the University of Nebraska's Drone Journalism Lab. The Federal Aviation Administration, Waite advises, is moving toward considering the use of small, journalism-sized drones (though not fast enough for Matt) in U.S. airspaces. And the Senate Commerce Committee is holding hearings on the use of drones. Drone journalism doesn't seem that far off.
