E-Sports and War Journalists...

I've come across the idea of PS2 e-sports a few times and different forms that it might take. It lead me to the idea that gamers might like to watch a little PS2 at some stage via a cast. I understand that there 'may' be ways to facilitate this, and I have an alternative to add to the mix that might add an additional element to gameplay.
As everyone knows, journalism during and within a war informs the sides who is in control, where action is occuring and how the general effort is going.
So what does everyone think of:
A - adding a utility kit or cert that allows use of camera drones for recording and broadcasting footage. Perhaps drones could be attached to other players for over the shoulder footage (think Gears of War)
B - adding an entire journalist class with amnesty privileges that deter (but not stop) enemy factions from attacking by applying resource deduction. Obviously such a class would only be able to broadcast and not capture, kill or in any way influence the battles themselves.
C - a combination of the above two.
D - a kit for casters that allows them to drop in on a server as a journalist or drone, invisible, impervious to harm and otherwise able to do their job without interfering at all.
I'm not really fussed and none of these options will affect gameplay drastically (unless you attempted to assault a base behind a wall of journalists... thinking flying duck)
Anyway, thoughts, criticisms, expansions, etc are welcome.
