The University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Drone Journalism Labs (see previous links) thought they could use drones as amatuers [sic] for local news reporting, but the FAA sees the journalism schools as a public operator requiring a Certificate of Authorization (COA) to fly.
