The Shannon-Weaver Model of Communication is a foundational framework that describes how information is transmitted from a sender to a receiver. It consists of five key components: the sender, the message, the channel, the receiver, and noise. The sender encodes a message, which is then transmitted through a channel to the receiver, who decodes it. Noise refers to any interference that may distort the message during transmission. This model highlights the importance of clear communication and the potential barriers that can affect understanding. It is widely used in various fields, including telecommunications, media studies, and psychology, to analyze and improve communication processes.
