Drones could be a great innovation to the journalism field; but it's a tricky, waiting game. Drones are still like a new toy to many, proper precautions and regulations have to be set up before they can fully come into play. If journalists starting with drones aren't careful about current regulations it could end badly for future generations.

As great as drones could be to journalism, I think it's cautiously crossing over that line of privacy. Drones could be great for environmental stories, and things more of that topic. Drones can be used for more than that though, it's easy for privacy to get invaded with them and people are going to jump back at the idea of that.
Personally, I think drones to cross some boundary lines involving privacy; though with proper regulations they could be a great technological advance.
