Smart IoT Drone Systems for News and Intelligence Gathering in Digital Journalism

Abstract

The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) Drones in journalism had signaled a digital revolution that altered news reporting, intelligence gathering, and the management of journalistic information processing which epitomizes information communication technologies(ICTs) digital ascendancy. Considering the inherent benefits of IoT Drones as demonstrated by their widespread application, Drones can record and transmit live video to ground-based base stations, which is more specifically useful in journalism. In line with the spread of forensic modernity, the current study found that audiences that value the use of creative and interactive technology will perceive news media utilizing IoT Drones as more moral. In the analysis, a respectable percentage of respondents favored Drone use in journalism. The paper recommended that, the use of IoT Drone technology in objective and investigative journalism will solidify the digital forensics methodology, given the framework for approaches and advancements that should be considered when conducting Drone forensic investigations.
