INTRODUCTION
Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one place,
person or group to another (SkillsYouNeed, 2020). It is the process of sending and
receiving messages through verbal or nonverbal means, including speech, or
oral communication; writing and graphical representations (such as infographics,
maps, and charts); and signs, signals, and behavior (Nordquist, 2020). At its
core, communications is the use of messages to generate meaning, both
within and across a myriad of cultures, contexts, channels, and media. Through
the effective practice of communications, we are able to improve cultural, social,
personal, and professional experiences, whether between individual, enterprises
or even nations (What is Communications Studies?, 2020).

EIGHT PARTS OF COMMUNICATION PROCESS

1. Source - The source imagines, creates, and sends the message. In a public
speaking situation, the source is the person giving the speech. He or she
conveys the message by sharing new information with the audience. The
speaker also conveys a message through his or her tone of voice, body
language, and choice of clothing. This process of turning thoughts into
communication is called encoding.

2. Message - The message is the stimulus or meaning produced by the source for
the receiver or audience. When you plan to give a speech or write a report,
your message may seem to be only the words you choose that will convey your
meaning. But that is just the beginning. The words are brought together with
grammar and organization. You may choose to save your most important point for
last. The message also consists of the way you say it—in a speech, with your tone
of voice, your body language, and your appearance—and in a report, with your
writing style, punctuation, and the headings and formatting you choose. In addition,
part of the message may be the environment or context you present it in and
the noise that might make your message hard to hear or see.

3. Channel - The channel is the way in which a message or messages travel


between source and receiver (What Is Communication?, 2012). There are
multiple communication channels available to us today. These include face-to-face
conversations, letters, telephone calls, text messages, email, the Internet
(including social media such as Facebook and Twitter), blogs, tweets radio and
TV, written letters, brochures and reports (SkillsYouNeed, 2020) and so forth.

4. Receiver - The receiver receives the message from the source, analyzing and
interpreting the message in ways both intended and unintended by the source.
In order to receive a message, she or he listens, sees, touches, smells,
and/or tastes to receive a message. The process of turning communication
into thoughts is called decoding. The receiver decodes the message.

5. Feedback - When the receiver responds to the source, intentionally or


unintentionally, she/he is giving feedback. Feedback is composed of messages
the receiver sends back to the source. Verbal or nonverbal, all these feedback
signals allow the source to see how well, how accurately (or how poorly and
inaccurately) the message was received. Feedback also provides an opportunity
for the receiver or audience to ask for clarification, to agree or disagree, or to
indicate that the source could make the message more interesting.

6. Environment - The environment is the atmosphere, physical and


psychological, where an individual sends and receives messages. This can
include the tables, chairs, lighting, and sound equipment that are in the room.
The room itself is an example of the environment. The environment can also
include factors like formal dress that may indicate whether a discussion is open
and caring or more professional and formal. People may be more likely to have
an intimate conversation when they are physically close to each other, and less
likely when they can only see each other from across the room. In that case, they
may text each other, itself an intimate form of communication. The choice to text is
influenced by the environment.

7. Context - The context of the communication interaction involves the setting,


scene, and expectations of the individuals involved. A professional
communication context may involve business suits (environmental cues) that
directly or indirectly influence expectations of language and behavior among the
participants.

8. Interference or noise – This is anything that blocks or changes the source’s


intended meaning of the message. For example, if you drove a car to work or school,
chances are you were surrounded by noise. Car horns, billboards, or perhaps the
radio in your car interrupted your thoughts, or your conversation with a
passenger. Psychological noise is what happens when your thoughts occupy
your attention while you are hearing, or reading, a message. Stereotypes,
reputations, assumptions, and biases are examples of psychological noise which
affect communication. Interference can come from other sources, too. Perhaps you
are hungry, and your attention to your current situation interferes with your ability to
listen. Maybe the office is hot and stuffy. Not all noise is bad, but noise
interferes with the communication process. For example, your cell phone
ringtone may be a welcome noise to you, but it may interrupt the
communication process in class and bother your classmates.

MEDIA AND INFORMATION INFLUENCE TO COMMUNICATION

Media and information technology play a vital role in globalization. Through


these, we become connected to different people around the world. These have
a significant influence on the modern culture and become tools in sharing
information, ideas, personal messages, and other content and have become
more widespread and accessible. Not only that they become sources of information,
but entertainment as well.

Media, particularly social media provides great ways to connect, to interact,


and to communicate with friends and family while living separately. We can share
pictures, videos, some information among our friends who are far away from
us. Through social media, you can make strong your existing relationships and
can make new friends from all over the world through different social
networking websites (A Research Guide for Students, 2019). Social media reduce
the barriers of communication and making it easier for everyone to express their
thoughts to the world (EASE Technology Solutions, 2016). Indeed, as technology
grows and expands our range of communication, media is becoming a vital tool for
daily social interaction.
