What is MASS COMMUNICATIONS?

Mass Communications is defined as a form of communication that is shared with  an individual or a large number of people at one time through a transmitting device.  This form of communication includes 6 entities known as the sender,   the message, the receiver and the channel.  These elements in turn produce feedback and noise. Mass Communications provides communication by sending out a message to consumers through a mass communication system.  This message is delivered very rapidly and then the message is sent to large numbers of individuals.   This type of communication also uses your senses to reveal the message.  Mass Communications involve the use of sight & sound to convey the message and evoke a response, whether immediately or at a later time or date after hearing or viewing the message.

These communications come through devices such as your radio, your television, your cell phone and the Internet.  But additional ways that Mass communications come into our lives are through Books, newspapers, magazines, DVDs and CD's.
