In Digital era: we are using digital media
Information : is available in large amounts through many
tools especially digital ones.

sounds, signs, or behaviors to express
or exchange information or to express
your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to

the exchange of information and the
expression of feeling that can result in
understanding

PUBLICITY MODEL
• communicationas display and attention
• audience as “spectators” rather than participants
or information receivers
11.
RECEPTION MODEL
• “Encoding/Decoding"
model of
communication by
Stuart Hall (1993)
• Messages are open to
various
interpretations.
12.
A commercial showsa happy
family eating fried chicken.

________________a message
that their product brings joy and
togetherness.
13.
One viewer seesthe ad and feels
hungry and nostalgic.

Encoder
•The encoder isthe sender of the message.
•This is the person or system that creates the message by
putting ideas into symbols (like words, gestures, or
images).
•Encoding is how thoughts are turned into communicable
form.
Example:
A teacher encodes a lesson by choosing words, making a
PowerPoint, and using hand gestures.
16.
Decoder
•The decoder isthe receiver of the message.
•This is the person who receives and tries to
understand the message.
•Decoding is the process of translating the symbols
(like language or images) back into meaning.
Example:
A student decodes the teacher’s explanation by
listening, watching, and thinking about it.
17.
Interpreter
•The interpreter isthe one who assigns meaning to the
message.
•Often, the decoder and interpreter are the same person,
but the focus here is on the meaning-making process.
•Interpretation depends on the person’s culture, experience,
knowledge, and mood.
Example:
Two students decode the same lesson, but one interprets it
as “easy” while another sees it as “confusing.”

Editor's Notes
#10 refers to a way of understanding how communication works, especially in media, social media, and public spaces. not just about sending information, but also about showing something to others — like performing, presenting, or exhibiting.
They are watching and consuming content, often for entertainment or emotional effect.
They are not deeply engaging or participating — just watching the “show”.
#11 Encoding is the process of creating a message.T he sender (or communicator) decides what to say and how to say it — using words, images, tone, gestures, etc.

#14 Osgood- Schramm Model Of Communication
Communication is a two way process where both sender and receiver take turns to send and receive a message.
The message is only sent after encoding so the sender is also called Encoder and the encoded message is decoded under receipt by the receiver, making him the Decoder.

#23 Form: In TV programs as interviews , discussions and talk shows . In Journalism like articles, interviews and news
Content: what is said in the form and the message itself.
- Example: when we see a topic in the Facebook and read it only so we are passive audience.
But when we understand , analyse , evaluate and “create” by commenting on the topic or publish new topic so we become active audience and also media producers.
- These are the skills we need to become media literate persons.
