MASS COMMUNICATION Is the term commonly used to refer to communication systems that are configured to create, produce, and disseminate media texts to mass audiences. EIGHT ELEMENTS THAT CONSTITUTE THE CREATION OF A MESSAGE SOURCE The source is where the message came from. It can be a person or an organization. ENCODING The process by which a message is translated so it can be transmitted and communicated to another party. TRANSMITTING The actual act of sending the message. It can either be through the person’s vocal cords and facial muscles complemented with hand gestures, if we mean the act of speaking. CHANNELS In an organization, information flows forward, backwards and sideways. This flow of information is called channels. DECODING The transmitted impulses are converted to signs as the brain perceives and processes it. The reverse of encoding, decoding is the process by which the receiver translates the source’s thoughts and ideas so they can have meaning.

RECIEVER The receiver is the one who gets the message that was transmitted through the channels. Like the source or sender, the receiver can be an individual or an organization. FEEDBACK Feedback is the response generated by the message that was sent to the receiver, which can either be immediate or delayed NOISE INTERFERANCE Most of the times, there is something that interferes the transmittal process. This interference is known as noise, which may be treated both literally and figuratively.
