(Wood, 2004). It can also be etc. described through its nature as follows: Communication is a process - a process that changes as the communicators’ environments and needs change. Communication is systematic - It involves within systems of interrelated and interacting parts. Communication is symbolic - Symbols, verbal (with words) or nonverbal (without words), are the basis of language. Shannon-Weaver’s Osgood-schramm’s Osgood-schramm’s Shannon-Weaver’s ‘circular’ ‘circular’ model model of of Model Model of of Communication Communication communication communication Developed by Mathematicians Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver in late 1940s. Communication is not linear, but circular. A source how meaning is transferred between (producer of message)-a person entity who individuals, corporations, and others, is has the message to communicate the most commonly taught and widely A transmitter used theory of communication (encoder of message into signals)-the device Communication is reciprocal and equal or medium that encodes the message into a Schramm modified Shannon-Weaver signal that can travel through the channel model by adding field of experience Channel Messages are based on interpretation -path or medium that carries the signal from defined as “life experiences, attitudes, the transmitter to the receiver values, and beliefs that each Receiver communicator brings to an interaction the device or medium that decodes the and that shape how messages are sent signal back into a message that can be and received.” understood by the.. Communication involves encoding, Destination decoding, and interpreting the person or entity that receives and (McCornack, 2010, p.10, as cited in interprets the messages “Osgood-Schramm model, “2015) Noise the interference or distortion that affects the Berlo’s Berlo’s smcr smcr model model of of quality or clarity of the signal or message. communication communication (1960) (1960) Known as the mother of all communication models, the Shannon –Weaver model (1949) depicts communication as a linear or one-way process consisting of the five elements. This model has been originally intended to show how radio and telephone technologies function This model has been criticized for missing one essential element in the communication process: feedback. Without feedback, the speaker will not know whether the receiver understands the message or not. In 1960, David Berlo postulated Berlo’s It is the speaker’s role to deliver a speech to the Sender-Message-Channel-Receiver audience. (SMCR) model of communication from The role of the audience is passive, influenced Shannon Weaver’s Model of by the speech. Communication (1949).

The The social social media media effect effect So how communication is affected by media and information? Let us look on the multiple roles of media in the society. 1. act as channels of information and knowledge through which citizens communicate with each other and make informed decisions 2. facilitate informed debates between diverse social actors Based on the image above, 3. provide us with much of what we learn communication becomes more productive about the world beyond our immediate and interactive due to media and experience information. 4. are means by which a society learns about Message was shared through variety of itself and builds a sense of community social media accounts and is shared by a 5. function as a watchdog of government in few people proving how influential media all its forms, promoting transparency in in the communication process. public life and public scrutiny of those Media and Information Literacy with power through exposing corruption, recognizes the primary role of information maladministration and corporate wrong- and media in our everyday lives. doing It lies at the core of freedom of expression 6. are essential facilitators of democratic and information - since it empowers processes and one of the guarantors of free citizens to understand the functions of and fair elections media and other information providers, to 7. are a vehicle for cultural expression and critically evaluate their content, and to cultural cohesion within and between make informed decisions as users and nations, and producer of information and media 8. function as an advocate and social actor content. while respecting pluralistic values Literacy Literacy Technology Technology The ability to identify, understand, interpret, (digital) (digital) Literacy Literacy create, communicate and compute, using The ability to use digital technology, printed and written materials associated with communication tools or networks to locate, varying contexts. evaluate, use and create information..
