The document discusses compression tools for photos, video, and audio for citizen journalism. It explains that higher photo and video resolutions result in larger file sizes. It recommends using smaller file sizes for easier sharing and publishing online. The document then demonstrates how to optimize, edit, and export photos using Paint and videos using Windows Movie Maker, including importing, editing, and saving files. It also covers adding audio tracks to videos and adjusting quality settings for files. The overall message is that story understandability is more important than high quality for citizen journalism activities.
