We'll explain the process needed to obtain the FAA license required to fly a drone for news gathering, and outline the Gannett drone program, which includes 60 pilots in two dozen markets.

Room 252 – Cronkite classroom, located on the 2nd Floor of ASU’s Cronkite School, 555 North Central Ave., Phoenix.
