The Transmission Model of Communication

The Transmission Model of Communication views communication as a process where a sender conveys a message through a channel to a receiver. The sender encodes their thoughts into words or symbols, which travel through a medium—like speech, writing, or digital signals—to the receiver. The receiver then decodes the message to understand the intended meaning. This model highlights how messages can be affected by noise or disruptions along the way, impacting the clarity or accuracy of understanding. It emphasizes the importance of clear encoding, effective channels, and attentive reception for successful communication.
