Expect to see broadcasters using unmanned cameras more during 2014.
Drone journalism is set to go mainstream this year.
Using small unmanned aerial vehicles allows photographers to capture amazing footage without spending too much money. Which is very appealing to cash-strapped news organisations.
Lewis Whyld, a photographer at the Daily Telegraph, is one of the pioneers of British drone journalism. He went to the Philippines at the end of 2013 to capture this footage of the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan.

Drones allowed him to get aerial shots of ruined villages.

And even explore inside ruined buildings.

But Whyld reckons the use of drones to cover recent floods in England marked the technique's coming-of-age.
"As soon as the Telegraph did it then the broadcasters jumped onto the bandwagon," Whyld told BuzzFeed. "It was funny to see it spreading like wildfire after no one used them for years."
