LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s journalism school is releasing a free manual to give newsrooms direction on how to operate drones for newsgathering.

The Drone Journalism Lab created the manual with support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. It was produced by Matt Waite, professor of practice in UNL’s College of Journalism and Mass Communications.

The manual that covers everything from pre-flight checklists to ethical considerations.

In June, the FAA released new laws governing the flight of drones in the U.S. The first step to legally fly drones is passing an FAA test, which includes questions about safety protocols and reading an airspace map and an aviation weather report.

Waite says drones will become a commonplace tool in newsrooms.
