## 2 Related Works  
A state-of-the-art analysis is drawn in this section with a highlight of major and most recent applications of utilizing various 4 IR technologies such as UAV, IoT, and AI for aerial journalism. Communication technologies of UAV along with its related propagation models have also been covered in this section. This section concludes with highlighting the research gaps and reports our research motivations. UAVs are seen as invaluable tools of providing services, both in disaster circumstances and as infrastructure extensions to services such as special events, let alone when UAVs become integrated with AI technology. Researchers in [8] present an investigating report of the role of drones in TV, online journalism, media, and transformation journalistic practice. The study emphasizes that nowadays, drones embrace more moving images filmed from drones than ever before, where applications are rapidly increasing. Further, a term \"Drone Journalism\" is introduced in [9] where this aerial vehicle can do newsgathering applications in various scenarios such as conflict, civil unrest, and disaster events. Authors in [10] present a drone as an on-demand Quality of Service (QoS) enabler for multimedia applications in modern smart societies. Further, researchers in [11] have combined two main elements from 4 IR which are UAV and AI in one of its techniques \"Game theory\" for the sake of disaster management and public safety. Results of differ

Studying behavioral characteristics towards sharing information to emergency centers is recommended as a future work. Furthermore, the article in [12] explores what makes drone imagery as an excellent example of visual culture call, where it shows an aerial view that led to more convincing for main news organizations as to warrant such attention and investment. Thus, visual aggregation is introduced from a drone aspect to theorize the authority of drone imagery in conventional journalistic practice. Drone imagery aggregates space visually, where its broad visual field reveals large-scale spatial patterns in ways analogous to the statistical capture/analysis of large bodies of data. It is recommended to consider more technological work to present the merit of drone journalism. The author in [13] gives more understanding on the role of drones in the media industry, where such a technology makes the work easy for the reporters. This study concludes with the pros and cons of the use of drones in media, where advantages outweigh disadvantages. The researcher in [14] introduces an idea of using a drone in journalism as a robot eyewitness where it extends visual journalism through drone investigation. The researcher in [15] calls attention towards the potential of drone technology as a telepresence platform, which represents the social extension of a human in the sky where telepresence via drone has notability which may transform drones as a new type of embodied medium. Journalism from above is a term that has been presented in [16], where it uses calls via drones for media purposes. The article covers topics related to adopting drones in news gathering; audience reactions in a changing media landscape, and talks between journalists and public authorities to use drones. Authors in [17] have outlined the wanted/upcoming drone journalism services and potentials where this technology promises to generate immersive experiences. This work covers the key role of the drone in aerial journalism including journalistic demands for timely and geographically unrestricted news coverage, which can be attained by a mobile drone. The SkyMedia system is presented in [18] which aims to provide a unique media understanding to audiences during live short-term, large-scale events using UAV and wireless sensors network (WSN).
