1.0 Introduction
Communication is refers to the activity of conveying information. The word
“communication” is derives from the Latin word “communis”, meaning to share.
Communication requires a sender, a message and a receiver. Usually, communication is defined
as the interaction, sharing and exchange of ideas or opinions. Communication process is
referring to the process of sending and receiving information between two or more people. It can
involve one on one conversations or individuals interacting with many people within a society. It
helps us understand that how and why people behave and communicate in different ways to
construct and negotiate a social reality. Elizabeth Tierney (1998) describes communication as a
process which begins when you have a message that you want to deliver to an audience. Your
audience receives the message, reacts to it and then responds to your message. That response
may lead you to react and give another message. This process may then go on and on. The
message sending and then feedback is given back to complete the communication cycle. As it is
on-going hence the relationship that is impersonal at the beginning turns into interpersonal where
one person is at times the sender and at other times the receiver. All the communication
interactions have certain common elements together help to define the communication process.

medium through which messages pass. The channel is acts as a bridge connecting the sender and
receiver. Communication seldom takes place over only one channel, normally multiple channels

listening takes place but at the same time gesturing and hand movements are also present. The
most common communication channels are film, radio, books, television, newspaper and
brochures. Through all these channels, the messages are transmitted to the media audience.
