Since 2010, journalists started their path as pilots of small radio-controlled aircrafts. These drones are creating new perspectives for news reporting and allowing humans to reach places they never could. This technology has led to new opportunities and constraints for reporters, audiences, lawmakers, and scholars. In addition, each region provides different prospects for the deployment of drone journalism. This dissertation addresses the circumstances in Ecuador to adopt this activity and analyses the different limitations and expectations, regarding technicalities, legislations, ethical issues, and journalists� perceptions.
