- Public Territory: Open areas utilized by the community (parks, malls).
Cyclical Flow of Communication
- Communication starts with the Source/Encoder who crafts the message with a defined purpose (inform, persuade, entertain).
- The Message is encoded and transmitted through a chosen Channel (verbal/non-verbal methods).
