Knight Foundation Grant, University of Nebraska Drone Lab
The Knight Foundation awarded a $50,000 "prototype grant" to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Drone Journalism Lab. Led by Professor Matt Waite, the project explores using unmanned aircraft for news gathering and data collection. The hosts criticize the grant as an "outrage," noting that the technology is inexpensive and that they have been performing "drone journalism" through reporting for years without funding.
