Drone Journalism, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Visual Reporting, Media Innovation, Journalism in JordanAbstract
In media studies, there is a growing anticipation that uncrewed aerial vehicles, also known as drones, will assume a prominent role as a formidable tool in the next few years. The level of expectation is increasing. In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise in the use of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, throughout several domains of human activity. The first association with these devices was with the paparazzi. However, they have gained considerable importance as tools that aid journalists, news organizations, and individuals in gathering and disseminating relevant news. Using uncrewed aerial vehicles, often known as drones, has facilitated the acquisition of visually distinctive perspectives. One further benefit of drones is their capacity to explore new avenues in journalism that surpass the constraints imposed by conventional visual content. The primary objective of this study is to do exploratory research to obtain a comprehensive grasp of the field of drone journalism. This research aims to highlight drone journalism's numerous opportunities, particularly in Jordan, emphasizing its geographical position as the primary focus.
