Hi! Mank,\n\nMass communication is the study of communication theory relating to masses. In this communication theory u have to learn different communication model, who the target audience are, whom to communicate, what message is to be communicated, what is its importance in contemporary socio-economic condition, the mode of mass communicaiton etc.\n        Mass means 'the public' , i.e all u have to do is to communicating with the common mass thru effective mass media ( TV , Newspaper, Cinema etc) and the effect of such communication on them.That is all about mass communication in a nut shell.\n       There r several books regarding Mass Communication.

Data communications deals primarily with data.\n\nTelecommunications deals primarily with voice.\n\nWhile these two areas of study have always had a number of overlapping concepts, they have never been closer than they are right now. It is increasingly difficult to separate one from the other.

Communication is usually described along three major dimensions: content, form, and destination. Examples of communication content include acts that declare knowledge and experiences, give advice and commands, and ask questions. These acts may take many forms, including gestures (nonverbal communication, sign language and body language), writing, or verbal speaking. The form depends on the symbol systems used. Together, communication content and form make messages that are sent towards a destination. The target can be oneself, another person (in interpersonal communication), or another entity (such as a corporation or group).\n\nThere are many theories of communication, and a commonly held assumption is that communication must be directed towards another person or entity. This essentially ignores intrapersonal communication (note intra-, not inter-) via diaries or self-talk.\n\nInterpersonal conversation can occur in dyads and groups of various sizes, and the size of the group impacts the nature of the talk. Small-group communication takes place in settings of between three and 12 individuals, and differs from large group interaction in companies or communities. At the largest level, mass communication describes messages sent to huge numbers of individuals through mass media, although there is debate if this is an interpersonal conversation.\n\nCommunication theories\n\nThe wide range of theories about communication make summarization difficult. However, a basic model of communication describes communication as a five-step output-input process that entails a sender's creation (or encoding) of a message, and the message's transmission through a channel or medium. This message is received and then interpreted. Finally this message is responded to, which completes the process of communication. This model is based on a model of signal transmission known as the Shannon-Weaver model. A related model can be seen in the work of Roman Jakobson.\n[edit]\n\nCommunication mediums\n\nThe beginning of human communication through artificial channels, i.e. not vocalization or gestures, goes back to ancient cave paintings, drawn maps, and writing.\n\nOur indebtedness to the Ancient Romans in the field of communication does not end with the Latin root "communicare". They devised what might be described as the first real mail or postal system in order to centralize control of the empire from Rome. This allowed for personal letters and for Rome to gather knowledge about events in its many widespread provinces.\n\nIn the last century, a revolution in telecommunications has greatly altered communication by providing new mediums for long distance communication. The first transatlantic two-way radio broadcast occurred on July 25, 1920 and led to common communication via analog and digital mediums:\n\n    * Analog telecommunications include traditional Telephony, radio, and TV broadcasts.\n    * Digital telecommunications allow for computer-mediated communication, telegraphy, and computer networks.\n\nCommunications mediums impact more than the reach of messages. They impact content and customs; for example, Thomas Edison had to discover that hello was the least ambiguous greeting by voice over a distance; previous greetings such as hail tended to be garbled in the transmission. Email has produced the Emoticon\n\nSignificantly, new communication mediums now allow for intense long-distance exchanges between larger numbers of people (many-to-many communication via e-mail, Internet forums). On the other hand, many traditional mass media favor one-to-many communication (television, cinema).\n\nThe adoption of a dominant communication medium is important enough that historians have folded civilization into "ages" according to the medium most widely used. A book titled "Five Epochs of Civilization" by William McGaughey (Thistlerose, 2000) divides history into the following stages: Ideographic writing produced the first

Sign language is a communication system using your hands to from letters, words, or express concepts.  It is used to communicate with and by people who are unable to speak or hear.  Sign language can also be used by people who need to communicate silently, like soldiers.  A certain type of "sign language" is also used by referees and umpires to communicate clearly over a long distance or over crowd noise.  Picture an umpire making a "safe" call at home plate.  That is a type of sign language.

Totally depends on your definition of 'art', which is still pretty debatable.  In my opinion, however, it is because while communication can serve a strictly functional purpose "I am hungry", it can also be mastered in such a way that it is just as moving and meaningful as any other type of art.  In essense, art is communication...

Verbal communication is anything you express with words or sounds. Nonverbal communication is the gestures, facial expressions, etc. that you use. \n\nNonverbal communication is just as important as verbal. For example, if someone asks you to do something and you say "Great, I'll get right on that!" and sound excited and get up right away, they'll know you don't really mind. However, if you say that but roll your eyes or look upset, you clearly aren't interested in doing it and are, through nonverbal communication, expressing something very different.

Mass communication occurs when a small number of people send messages to a large anonymous and usually heterogeneous audience through the use of specialized communication media. \n\nThe units of analysis for mass communication are the messages, the mediums, and the audience. \n\nMass Communication represents the creation and sending of a homogeneous message to a large heterogeneous audience through the media. Mass communication studies the uses and effects of the media by many as opposed to the study of human interaction as in other communication contexts. \n\nTheories \n\nAgenda-Setting theory \n\nCultivation theory \n\nCultural Imperialism theory \n\nDiffusion theory \n\nFunctional Approach to Mass Communication \n\nHuman Action Approach theory \n\nMedia Dependency \n\nMedia Equation \n\nRules-Based theory \n\nSpiral of Silence theory \n\nTechnological Determinism theory \n\nUses and Gratifications theory
