Lecture 6 Communication Process Objectives: • Have an idea of how to understand communication process • Learn how to analyze and evaluate communication process models critically • Think about how to build your own model
Linear model of communication process: Lasswell From a political communication perspective With mass communication in mind Generalizing communication process Emphasizing effect of mass communication
Linear model of communication process: Lasswell • From a political communication perspective • With mass communication in mind • Generalizing communication process • Emphasizing effect of mass communication
Linear model of communication process: Shannon and Weaver With engineering and mathematical background Concerned with how to use channe/s of communication most efficiently Seeing communication as the transmission of messages
