Basetrack creates reportages in collaboration with the Marines based on the most important communication tools of this time; It makes connections on Twitter, Facebook and uses an interactive map which shows the accurate location of each story.For a long time.
Teru has covered the war in Afghanistan having only an iPhone as a main camera (which is only used for this purpose).
