4 audiences, identity and interactivitypaulteusner
- Audiences are active in constructing meaning from media messages based on their own experiences and contexts, rather than passively receiving fixed meanings.
- Audience reception theory focuses on how audiences make sense of media rather than the effects of media messages. Audiences negotiate meanings and readings can vary from dominant to oppositional.
- Communication involves performances of identity for different audiences. Goffman viewed identity as something presented and negotiated through social interactions based on conventions and contexts.

Effective Interpersonal Communication
Interpersonal communication entails the exchange of information, feelings, and interpretations between individuals through verbal and non-verbal messages in a face to face communication scenario. The conversations between two people in a face to face communication setting transcends the language used since the messages can be passed through various non-verbal messages such as attitudes of either party. When two people are in the same place and are engaged in a face to face conversation, they are aware of each other’s presence thus even without the use of speech either party can use cues of posture and facial expression to evaluate the emotional state, personality and intent of the other party. Through interpersonal communication an individual may give and collect a broad range of information, influence the attitudes and behaviors of others, interact with others, and make sense of different experiences. The individual can express his personal needs and understand the needs of others through the application of interpersonal communication thus allowing him to anticipate and predict behavior (Petersen, 2015). Interpersonal communication skills are essential for the success of an individual’s faith journey since they equip him with the capacity to give and receive emotional support, make decisions, and solve problems. Interpersonal communication skills are instrumental in self-assessment since they are comprised of listening skills, emotional intelligence, interdependencies, interactions, and verbal communication. They influence what, and how an individual says something, they also facilitate the interpretation of messages sent by other people thus making it possible to work with other individuals to find a mutually agreeable outcome. They are essential in the identification, definition, and solution of various problems within the society since they provide the means to explore and analyze different options to make informed decisions. Interpersonal communication increase the level of assertiveness since they help the individual to communicate his values, beliefs, ideas, opinions, needs, wants freely. They also help the individuals to understand that other people have different perspectives thus enabling them to learn new things while gaining their respect and trust (Burley-Allen, 1995).

This document discusses assertive communication. It begins by introducing the importance of communication and human relationships. It then defines three main communication styles - passive, aggressive, and assertive.
It provides examples of verbal and non-verbal cues for each style. Assertive communication is described as taking responsibility, initiative, and focusing on solutions while actively listening and being direct yet considerate.
The document also discusses cultural dimensions like individualism vs collectivism, power distance, masculinity vs femininity, time orientation, and uncertainty avoidance that influence communication between cultures. It emphasizes developing cultural intelligence to effectively communicate across cultures.
Effective communication is vital for business success as it allows managers to delegate work, provide feedback, and control operations, while good communication can reduce conflict and prevent misunderstandings among employees. Formal communication refers to official channels within a business, while informal communication occurs through unofficial exchanges between employees. Barriers to communication like physical or language barriers can interfere with the transmission of messages if not properly addressed.
Intra-personal communication is the foundation for meaningful dialogue. It involves communication within oneself through sense-making, interpreting communication, speaking aloud, writing thoughts, and daydreaming. Encoding and decoding are essential parts of the communication process, where encoding involves putting ideas into codes and decoding is assigning meaning to those ideas. There are three main types of noise that can interfere with communication: semantic noise due to confusion over word meanings, mechanical noise from issues with devices used for communication, and environmental noise from distracting external sounds. The socio-cultural and psycho-personal backgrounds of communicators are important to understand in the communication process, as they can impact how messages are interpreted. A mass audience is heterogeneous, with members coming from varied

Barriers Of Intercultural CommunicationJill Crawford
Intercultural communication competency is crucial for effectively managing global communications within an organization. Developing competency requires understanding one's own cultural values and communication styles, as well as those of other cultures. It also involves building relationships with colleagues from diverse backgrounds to gain their perspectives.
Developing intercultural communication competency was essential for my previous role managing U.S. employee communications that often had global impacts. To effectively communicate with international audiences, I needed to understand how cultural differences could influence the reception and interpretation of messages. I began by reflecting on my own cultural lens and communication tendencies. I read literature on cultural
Oral communication refers to any interaction that uses spoken words and includes non-verbal elements like body language and tone. It encompasses skills like coherent speaking, listening, and understanding verbal and non-verbal cues. There are several forms of oral communication, including intrapersonal communication (self-talk), interpersonal communication (between individuals), small group communication, public communication, mass communication, corporate communication, and intercultural communication. The process of oral communication involves identifying the audience's needs, using clear speaking and active listening skills, and ensuring the message is understood.
This document discusses the clientele and audiences of communication. It defines audiences as the receivers of communication, who can be defined by social context, media content, place, demographic characteristics, or time. Effective communication requires understanding the needs of different audiences, including individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Individuals communicate for information, guidance, relationships, and identity. Groups and organizations communicate to inform, build understanding, resolve conflicts, and present ideas while lowering barriers. Communicating to a community requires using simple language, respecting people's time, knowing their background and interests, and addressing their educational needs.
ross-cultural communication is a field of study that looks at how people from differing cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themselves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Intercultural communication is a related field of study.
This document discusses intercultural communication and its importance. It defines culture and intercultural communication. Intercultural communication is the verbal and nonverbal interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds. Understanding culture is critical for effective communication. Interacting with people from diverse cultures, such as through international camps, is one way to learn about and understand other cultures firsthand while also teaching your own culture. Mastering intercultural communication skills has several benefits, including enhancing problem solving, minimizing stereotypes, and creating opportunities to meet new people.

12. A Learning Experience
In this last question Mr. Davis addresses many modes of
communication that apply directly to the context of the textbook from
being mindful to stereotypes. The interview reinforced everything I have
learned about interpersonal communication this semester. Being mindful
of others, dual-perspective, actively listening, and many other concepts
from this semester were either addressed directly by Mr. Davis or had a
soft undertone in the answers to the questions. I enjoyed completing this
interview because it really captivated me as to how important
interpersonal communication skills really are.
