    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.

    Factors Influencing Communication

    • David Berlo identified several factors that impact communication effectiveness: skills (e.g., reading, speaking), subject knowledge, attitudes towards the topic and audience, and social/cultural influences.

    Media Modality and Format

    • Media Modality: Refers to the form of messages (text, audio, video, graphics, animation) and their combinations.
    • Media Format: Describes data arrangement, including digital or analog forms.
    • Transmission methods vary, including electromagnetic signals for audio and light waves for visual modalities.
    • Mass Media Forms: Include television, radio, print, internet,电话 (telephone), and mobile technologies.

    Media Literacy

    • Media Literacy: Involves understanding and critically engaging with mass media, enabling informed evaluations of its techniques and effects.
    • Skills include reading, analyzing, and producing communication across various media platforms.

    Information Literacy

    • Refers to the ability to recognize when information is needed and to locate, evaluate, and effectively use that information.

    Technology Literacy

    • Involves using digital technology and networks to locate and create information, and understanding how to operate effectively in a digital environment.

    Critical Thinking Skills

    • Encourages asking profound questions, evaluating arguments, recognizing facts vs. opinions, and dealing with complex problems without fixed solutions.
    • Emphasizes constructive criticism, acknowledging nuances in agreement or disagreement, and articulating complex ideas clearly.

    Evolution of Media and Perception

    • Tribal Age: Predominantly acoustic; hearing was the main sense.
    • Literacy Age: Vision gained dominance, highlighting the transition from oral to written communication.
    • Print Age: The invention of the printing press enabled mass production of texts, allowing reading at one's own pace.
    • Electronic Age: Marked by inventions like the telegraph and subsequent advancements, culminating in modern technologies such as phones and the internet.

    Types of Media

    • Print Media: Includes newspapers, magazines, and advertising; remains one of the oldest and effective forms of media.
