The use of drones is becoming increasingly popular in the media industry, while every day we see multiple examples of their use for journalistic and informational purposes. Although the idea of exploiting Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAV) to collect information, information and long-range images has multiple advantages, in a number of applications, their use continues to be controversial, with society being skeptical mainly about security and privacy issues.<\/p>\n

In 2018 the European Communication Institute (ECI) created the “Drone Journalism Lab” (DJL – Drone Journalism Lab<\/strong>) with the aim of researching, studying and providing teaching work on UAV technologies and the applications and opportunities they offer in modern journalism and communication.<\/strong> The “Drone Journalism Laboratory” is the only laboratory in Greece and Europe that aims at the specialized interdisciplinary study and research of the utilization of the technological capabilities of UAV in Journalism. It is supported by scientific and research staff belonging to multiple sciences and professional specializations in order to approach the subject from different perspectives providing a comprehensive knowledge background.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Mission” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%237a9dbf”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1563514675192{margin-top: 10px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”]\"\"<\/p>\n

The mission of the Drone Journalism Laboratory is summarized in the following main axes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Conduct basic and applied scientific research on UAV technologies related to their exploitation in journalism and communication.<\/li>\n
  2. Cooperation with national and international bodies (public, private, academic and research) in the specific scientific field.<\/li>\n
  3. Provision of educational work within the framework of the activities and collaborations of the European Institute of Communication.<\/li>\n
  4. Organization of information activities (workshops, conferences, seminars, lectures, events, etc.).<\/li>\n
