17. Mediated and non Mediated communication
• Mediated communication or mediated interaction refers to
communication carried out by the use of information
communication technology and can be contrasted to face-to-face
communication.
• computer-mediated communication, mediated technology need
not be computerized as writing a letter using a pen and a piece of
paper is also using mediated communication
Davis defines
mediated communication as the use of any technical medium for
transmission across time and space.
The type of mediated technology used can also influence its meaning.
This is most famously rendered in Marshall McLuhan's maxim "the
medium is the message".
18. Lundby (2009) distinguished between three forms of
mediated communication:
1. Mediated interpersonal communication,
2. Interactive communication.
3. Mass communication.
