This article details Finnish news organizations’ adoption of drones for journalistic purposes from 2011 to 2020. The theoretical starting point of the article is Rogers’ (1962) diffusion of innovations theory, which explains how new ideas and technologies spread in societies. The main empirical data for the study were derived from a phone survey conducted among the 80 most popular newspapers in Finland. The findings reveal that drone journalism in Finland has already diffused from a few pioneering organizations to a large number of newsrooms, including regional, mid-sized newspapers. Most of the newspapers are either using in-house drones, buying commissioned images, or using both strategies. The frequency of use was found to be much higher for those newsrooms using their own drones. Finally, the article ponders possible explanations for different trajectories in the adoption of drones in various countries based on the Finnish case.

无人机新闻传播：以芬兰为例，2011–2020年

本文详细介绍了2011年至2020年芬兰新闻机构为新闻目的而采用无人机的情况。本文的理论起点是罗杰斯（1962）的创新理论传播，它解释了新思想和新技术如何在社会中传播。该研究的主要经验数据来自对芬兰80家最受欢迎的报纸进行的电话调查。调查结果表明，芬兰的无人机新闻业已经从少数先驱组织传播到了许多新闻编辑室，包括区域性，中型报纸。大多数报纸要么使用内部无人机，购买委托图片，要么同时使用这两种策略。对于使用自己的无人机的新闻编辑室，发现使用频率要高得多。最后，
