Linear model of communication

The linear model of communication views communication as a straightforward process where a sender transmits a message through a channel to a receiver. It emphasizes a one-way flow, meaning the sender sends the message without expecting immediate feedback. This model highlights elements like the sender, message, channel, and potential noise (interference) that might distort the message. It's useful for understanding basic message transmission, such as broadcasting a radio signal or giving a speech, but it doesn't account for back-and-forth interactions or the dynamic nature of real-world communication.
