Study Notes
Communication Models
- Harold Laswell proposed a foundational model addressing key elements of communication: "Who says what to whom, through what medium, and with what effect?"
- Shannon and Weaver's model emphasizes the technical aspects of communication, considering noise and feedback in message transmission.
- Westley and McLean's model incorporates multiple communicators, demonstrating a more complex communication system.
Expressive and Ritual Models
- The expressive model focuses on communication as a means to share emotions and build social relationships.
- Communication in the expressive model often utilizes symbolism, where meanings are implied rather than explicitly stated, relying on mutual understanding.
Publicity Model
- Communication in this model positions audiences as spectators rather than active participants, stressing the importance of capturing attention for effective message delivery.
- Engaging storytelling techniques, such as compelling presentations, enhance audience interest in otherwise mundane topics.
Reception Model
- Understanding of communication as an open process allows for various interpretations influenced by cultural and contextual factors.
- Wilbur Schramm's cyclical model illustrates the sender (encoder) and receiver (decoder) roles as dynamic and interchangeable.
