Journalism Drone's Kept Indoors
Missouri's Journalism School has moved its drone flights indoors, in response to an FAA mandate to stop cease all outdoor flights until it’s instructors are certified.
Bill Allen, who heads the course, is betting that the prohibition against flying drones outdoors will be overturned; and when it is, his students will have skills ahead of others in the marketplace.
In the past Allen's student's have used drones to cover stories on fracking and a deliberate and planned forest fire.
In the meantime, his classes will conduct flights in a livestock facility.
