Abstract
This study examined the Nigeria Union of Journalists Ogun State Council and Ethical Use of Drone Journalism. Specifically, the study assessed their level of knowledge, explored their attitudes towards ethical application, and identified factors influencing adoption. A mixed-method research design was employed, combining a survey of 222 journalists sampled from a population of 477 NUJ members using Taro Yamane’s formula with in-depth interviews of five purposively selected experts. Quantitative data were collected using an online questionnaire and analysed with descriptive statistics via SPSS, while qualitative data from interviews were subjected to thematic analysis. Findings revealed that although conceptual awareness of ethical guidelines for drone use is relatively high, actual utilisation remains low. Journalists expressed positive attitudes towards the benefits of drone technology, including improved safety and enhanced news coverage in inaccessible areas. However, adoption is hindered by financial constraints, safety risks, privacy concerns, regulatory ambiguities, and inadequate training. The study concludes that while drone journalism holds significant potential for advancing reporting practices in Nigeria, its ethical integration requires structured training, clear policy frameworks, and institutional support. It recommends that NUJ develop comprehensive ethical guidelines and capacity-building initiatives to foster responsible and sustainable drone journalism.
