Process Model of Communication
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing and evaluating the process (or transmission) model of communication. This model is one that seeks to explain mechanisms by which linear communication occurs and is received by the listener. “The listener” in the process model often is not an individual, but rather an entire audience, generally without respect to demographic characteristics of that audience and certainly without regard for individual characteristics such as gender and class. This lack of distinction severely limits the process model’s ability to describe or predict any audience response. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Dee Brown and Marleen Gorris. By examining these
works we will be able to decide whether we agree
with this thought, readily or wisely know that
there are no absolutes. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
