COMMUNICATION MODELS

1. SHANNON & WEAVER MODEL (1949)

                                 Noise Source

Also called: Mathematical Model of Communication
Focus: Technical aspects of communication
Limitation: One-way communication, no feedback

2. BERLO’S SMCR MODEL (1960)

S - SOURCE          M - MESSAGE         C - CHANNEL         R - RECEIVER
- Skills            - Content           - Seeing            - Skills
- Attitude          - Elements          - Hearing           - Attitude
