The root of the word “communication”
in Latin is communicare, which means
to share, or to make common
(Weekley, 1967).
• Communication is defined as
the process of understanding
and sharing meaning (Pearson &
Nelson, 2000).
• Littlejohn and Foss (2008), who
are scholars and experts in the
field, regard communication as
“one of those everyday activities
that is intertwined with all of
human life so completely that we
sometimes overlook its
pervasiveness, importance, and
complexity.”

Activity 1.1: Breaking Down Miscommunication
In your notebook, try to recall a major miscommunication or
misunderstanding that you were involved in and its
consequences. Describe such situation. In what component/s of
the communication process do you think did the problem
originate? Explain what you did about it and give suggestions on
how problems as such can be avoided in the future.

The book “Business Communication for
Success” lists eight essential components
of communication:
1. Source – a person, group, or entity
that forms, creates, sends, or forwards
a message or information
2. Message – the stimulus or meaning
produced by the source for the receiver
or audience (McLean, 2005)
3. Channel – the tool or manner in
which the messages will be carried
through from the source to the
receiver
4. Receiver – receives the message
from the source, analyzing and
interpreting the message in ways
both intended and unintended by the
source (McLean, 2005)

The book “Business Communication for
Success” lists eight essential components
of communication:
5. Feedback – the message or
response of the receiver which is
sent back to the source
6. Environment – the atmosphere,
physical and psychological, where you
send and receive messages (McLean,
2005)
7. Context – the communication
interaction involves the setting, scene,
and expectations of the individuals

8. Interference – anything that blocks or

of the message (McLean, 2005)

Years later, David Berlo developed Shannon and Weaver’s model
shifting the focus to the context, environment, and other factors
surrounding the participants involved in the communication process.
These factors include the following:
 Communication skills such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and
watching.
 Knowledge about a subject or topic
 Attitude toward the topic and the audience
 Social and cultural aspects that influence the content of the message
and themanner by which it is sent.

Media literacy teaches us that the content we see or hear are
constructed with various aims and that an equally important task
falls to the audience, the receivers of such content, to evaluate and
give meaning to these media messages.
Media literacy skills help us think our way through this
complex process of communication. Furthermore, they help us
function better in our media-rich environment, enabling us to be
better democratic citizens, smarter shoppers, and more skeptical
media consumers.
