MODELS OF COMMUNICATION

Models of communication are conceptual models used to explain the human communication process.

Shannon and Weaver’s Model

• One- way process of communication.
• Transmitter is the means of how communication is being
delivered.
• Signal refers to the perceived message.
• Destination connotes end of the communication process.
The receiver only gets the message without a chance to
give a feedback.

Weiner’s Interactive Model

• A two-way process of communication.
• Destination can become an information source since it
can provide a feedback.
• Delayed feedbacking is caused by the processing of the
information by new source.
• It is the modified model of Shannon’s model.

Schramm’s Model
• A circular type of communication.
• Contextual ideas play a major role in both sides
of communication.
• Overlapping circle means shared knowledge of
the sender and receiver.
• Noise is present in the entire process. It can
affect any of the components in the process.

Intermediary/Gatekeeper Model
• Communication is solely dependent on the
gatekeepers. The gatekeepers are the ones who
edit, amend, and fix the message before it is
released to the receiver of the communication.
• Censorship is usually the main purpose of this
model.
