This study analyzes the current status of drone journalism in Korean broadcasting industry, with a case study of TV Chosun Company's drone use for news gathering. It analyzes TV Chosun's record of drone logs between 2014 and 2018. The log consists of date, time, news content, users, machine and on-air date. In 2014, the total of 31 cases of using drones for news gathering is identified, while in 2018, the frequency increases to 60, with a gradual, annual increase, making the total frequency of 160, during the period between 2014 and 2018. This means that the broadcasting company used the drone news gathering system every week. The analysis also reveals that the company used this drone news gathering system mostly in the metropolitan area in Korea, amounting to more than 76 per cent of its total use: 31.3 per cent in Seoul, 36.9 per cent in Kyunggi, and 8.1 percent in Incheon. The system was more frequently used in the summer and autumn than the winter and spring. Interestingly, it was first popularly used for disaster related news, but the use of drone for social and other issues is increasing every year, which may imply its diverse use in the future.

Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles without a human pilot aboard. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground. This research aims to analyze market trends and technological developments of drones, use cases and constraints of drones in the cultural industries take advantage of the possibility of future drones. Drones are looking for broadcasting, movie, theater, games, toys drones and racing games in a variety of cultural industry. The biggest problem of drone shall provide penalties for breaches of privacy and security issues in the debate. Drones performances are required such as battery capacity and compactness because of the technical limitations. The drones are expected to be used in various fields such as journalism drone, performance tools, augmented reality games, kidult culture. The drones can create a new cultural industry market such as the combination of robotics and drone journalism, drone crowded theater, utilizing drones character games, racing games etc. In conclusion, drones help reduce manpower, time and costs dramatically and will contribute to creating added value in the cultural industries.

본 연구에서는 사회저변에서 활용되고 있지만, 학술적 논의는 시작단계인 드론 특히, 재난 재해 대응의 중요한 수단으로서 드론저널리즘에 대한 개념과 의미, 미래 제기될 수 있는 법적 윤리적 쟁점들을 시론적 차원에서 모색하였다. 이를 위해 논문, 보고서 등 드론저널리즘 관련 문헌자료들에 대한 내용분석 방법론을 활용하였다. 선행연구를 통해 드론저널리즘은 혁신확산이론적 측면에서 '상대적 이점', '적합성', '시험가능성', '관찰가능성'은 높고 '복잡성'은 낮은 테크놀로지로서 저널리즘에서 그 확산가능성은 매우 높음을 확인하였다. 그러나 충돌 및 추락사고로 인한 안전문제, 개인초상권 등의 프라이버시를 심각하게 침범할 수 있다는 사생활 침해 논쟁, 낮은 구입가격과 취급용이성으로 인해 많은 이들이 쉽게 드론촬영이 가능함으로 인해 발생하는 정보의 정확도, 출처에 대한 시비가 발생할 가능성이 높다고 전망된다. 선행연구를 기반으로 법적 윤리적 쟁점에 대한 해결방안을 제언한다면, 우선, 기술적 안정성(배터리, 충돌 방지 센서 등)이 요구되며, 드론활용 취재행위에 대한 저널리스트들의 인식전환과 윤리교육 실시, 드론저널리즘의 프라이버시 침해 등의 쟁점이슈의 사회적 공론화를 통한 제도 및 법적조치의 수립이 필요하다. 향후 후속 연구에서는 드론저널리즘에 대한 저널리스트들과 일반대중의 인식조사 등의 실증적 연구가 보다 정교하게 수행되어야 할 것이다.

Based on the camera movement on image expression and grammar, this study intended to analyze the characteristics of image expression filmed and broadcasted by drones. This study analyzed drone images using the movement characteristics of existing video cameras as a coding nomenclature. These were intended to examine the differences from existing video grammar and their implications. This study conducted a content analysis using the entire population of drone news footage broadcast for four years in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 by TV Chosun. The size of the screen, camera work, duration of the shot, camera angle, etc. were selected and analyzed. As a result, the drone camera work showed that it uses the most dolly shots in the case of camera movement, followed by the drone camera movement in the order of pan and tilt shots. For zoom, the frequency of use was the smallest. In addition, this study analyzed the size of the screen, duration of the shot, and camera angle of drone. Analysis shows that drones use certain camera movements most frequently, and unlike grandiose modifiers such as "extension of human gaze," drone remains as a supplementary means to enhance the traditional media expression.
