Communication is the process of transmitting information from a sender to a receiver. It involves an idea that the sender encodes into a message and sends through a channel that the receiver decodes. There are eight elements to this process including the sender, message, encoding, channel, receiving, decoding, receiver, and feedback. Communication can be internal or external, formal or informal, and verbal or nonverbal. It relies on various media like print media such as newspapers and electronic media such as television and radio to transmit messages.
