-
- Social Sciences
There are exciting drones and there are definitely scary drones. But drones have quieter things going on as well. They’re already at work doing ordinary stuff: working in agriculture, in infrastructure, filming the news.
Peter Robinson is a journalist at the ABC, and has been working on pioneering some of those moves for the organisation.

CASA’s Can I Fly There? app.
Four Corners’ water theft story, with its drone-shot footage.
The drone battery fire on board a plane at Melbourne airport.
New York Mag writer Benjamin Wallace Wells described a drone as something that can move you “back and forth between the intimate and the vast.”
