Study Notes

  • Communication is influenced by media and information.
  • Media and its information must be evaluated, then that should be communicated.

Elements of Media and Information

  • Information consists of the knowledge or facts learned about a certain subject, situation, or event.
  • Media consists of communication outlets or tools that are used to store and deliver information, are also the methods/tools used to exchange information, and facilitate communication.
  • Communication is a process by which information is exchanged from sender to receiver through a common system of symbols, signs, or behaviors that result in the interpretation of meaning on both ends, and a purposeful exchange of information between groups by speaking, writing, gestures or signs.

Types of Communication

  • Interpersonal communication is between people, whether verbal or non-verbal.
  • Mass communication refers to communication systems configured to create, produce, and disseminate media texts to mass audiences.
  • There is a need for mass communication because relationships are built and for teaching, learning, entertainment, and information.

Media Literacy

  • Literacy allows one to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
  • Media consists of the physical objects used to communicate with mass communications through objects such as radio, television, computers, and film.
  • Media literacy provides the ability to read, analyze, evaluate, and produce communication in a variety of media forms.

Information and Technology Literacy

  • Information refers to a broad term covering processed data, knowledge derived from study, experience, instruction, signals, or symbols.
  • Information literacy refers to the ability to recognize when information is needed, and to locate, evaluate, effectively use, and communicate information in various formats.
  • Technology (Digital) literacy refers to the ability to use digital technology, communication tools, or networks to locate, evaluate, use, and create information.

Communication Process

  • The sender/source of information composes sentences as they communicate by encoding a message with content that the sender wants to communicate to the receiver.
  • The actual act of sending the message occurs via a medium or tool that is used to transmit the message from the source to the receiver/interpreter.
  • The receiver translates the sender’s thoughts and ideas which is a process known as decoding.
  • Feedback is the response generated by the message sent to the receiver.
  • Noise is something that interferes in the transmittal process.

Different Models of Communication

  • The linear model uses one-way communication.
  • Mass communication sends messages that the receiver only receives.
  • There is no feedback and a concept of noise.
  • It is good at audience persuasion and propaganda settings.
  • There is no concept of feedback.
  • There is no way to know if communication is effective.
  • The transactional model is used for interpersonal communication.
  • Senders and receivers interchange roles.
  • Includes simultaneous feedback and noise.
  • Encourages non-verbal communication.
  • There may be more noise due to communicators talking at the same time.
  • The interactional model consists of new communications like the Internet with slower feedback in turns and a concept of field experience, known as the convergence model.
  • If the receiver does not respond, communication becomes linear.
  • Feedback exists, even with mass communication and new communication channels.
  • Feedback can take a very long time.
