Introduction
In Digital era : we are using digital media
Information : is available in large amounts through many
tools especially digital ones.
Marshall McLuhan is a famous scientist in the field of media
who said that : “the world has become a global village“.
Media influences: perceptions, beliefs and attitudes.
Media consumption: depends on user communication and
the availability of digital products.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: RECITATION
• What is
communication?
• How do we
communicate?
• Why do we
communicate?
Communication
the act or process of using words,
sounds, signs, or behaviors to express
or exchange information or to express
your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to
someone else
(http://www.merriam-webster.com)
the exchange of information and the
expression of feeling that can result in
understanding
(http://dictionary.cambridge.org)
TRANSMISSION MODELS

With what
effect?
EFFECT
Lasswell’s Communication Model (1948)
Identify the following:
Communicator/ Sender?
Message?
Medium/ Channel?
Receiver?
Effect?
TRANSMISSION MODELS
Shannon-Weaver’s Communication Model (1948)
PUBLICITY MODEL
• communication as display and attention
• audience as “spectators” rather than participants
or information receivers
RECEPTION MODEL
• “Encoding/ Decoding"
model of
communication by
Stuart Hall (1993)
• Messages are open to
various
interpretations.
A commercial shows a happy
family eating fried chicken.
→ The advertiser is
________________a message
that their product brings joy and
togetherness.
One viewer sees the ad and feels
hungry and nostalgic.
Another viewer may criticize it for
promoting unhealthy food.
→ They _____________it in
different ways.
RECEPTION MODEL
Osgood- Schramm Model Of Communication (1954)
Encoder
•The encoder is the 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.
Decoder
•The decoder is the 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.
Interpreter
•The interpreter is the 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.”
RECEPTION MODEL
Berlo’s SMCR Model of Communication (1960)
How is communication affected by media
and information?
INFORMATION
 data, knowledge
derived from
study, experience,
or instruction,
signals or symbols
 knowledge of
specific events or
situations
MEDIA
 Communication
Tools
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: RECITATION
 How does Facebook serve as a
tool for communication?
 How did Facebook affect the way
people communicate with each
other?
 How did Facebook affect the
quantity and quality of
information available to people?
What is LITERACY ?
Literacy is the state of being able to read and write
( Longman dictionary )
Literacy includes visual , electronic and digital forms of
communication.
What is LITERACY ?
VITAL CHANNEL TO COMMUNICATION FOCUSING ON
ONE’S ABILITY TO ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, AND
CREATE MEDIA
Media literacy
Media literacy is the ability to:
access the media
understand
critically evaluate media content
create communications / produce messages
Media literacy cares about how people comprehend, interpret , analyze and compose media
messages.
Example : Facebook , website or blog ……passive or active audience
Egyptian Army (sms) in the revolution
Q
Media literacy
Children and youth especially adolescents
exposed to a large amount of media messages
for entertainment through television, internet, music,
movies and videogames.
Therefore Media literacy plays a role in the socialization when children and youth exposed
to these messages.
Entertainment leads to socialization
There is a need to understand the media work and citizens should know the political,
ideological, economic and cultural dimensions of media.
Information literacy
Means To :
Recognize when information is needed
Identify
Locate
Think critically
Evaluate
Use information to solve a problem
Note: Ward argument (2006) states that
info. Lit. includes media lit.
Information literacy
Digital literacy
Includes :
The presentation of information
The evaluation of information
The organization of information
Through :
The usage of digital tools &
digital resources.

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. Decoding is the process of interpreting the message. The receiver (audience) interprets the message based on their background, culture, beliefs, and experiences.

  • #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.

  • #29 The author removed the digital literacy from the comparison because of its complexity.
