Communication Communication is a process of transferring information from one entity to another. Communication is commonly defined as "the imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs". Over time, technology has progressed and has created new forms of and ideas about communication. The newer advances include media and communications psychology. Media psychology is an emerging field of study. These technological advances revolutionized the processes of communication. Researchers have divided how communication was transformed into three revolutionary stages
Communication is thus a process by which meaning is assigned and conveyed in an attempt to create shared understanding. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur. The Persian Empire (centred around present-day Iran) played an important role in the field of communication. They devised what might be described as the first real mail or postal system, which is said to have been developed by the Persian emperor Cyrus the Great (c. 550 BC) after his conquest of Media
Modern communication media now allow for intense long-distance exchanges between larger numbers of people (many-to-many communication via e-mail, Internet forums, and teleportation). On the other hand, many traditional broadcast media and mass media favor one-to-many communication (television, cinema, radio, newspaper, magazines, and also teleportation).The internet is arguably one of the most effective tools in media for communication. Tools such as e-mail, MSN, Facebook etc, have brought people closer together and created new online communities. However, some may argue that certain types of media can hinder face-to-face communication and therefore can result in complications like identity fraud.
The newsroom definition of “media ethics” can translate into the broader concept of“social responsibility”, which is appropriate for the purpose of Free and Responsible Press:(1) a truthful, comprehensive, and intelligent account of the day’s events in a contextwhich gives them meaning;(2) a forum for the exchange of comment and criticism;(3) the projection of a representative picture of the constituent groups in the society;
(4) the presentation and clarification of the goals and values of the society;(5) full access to the day’s intelligence. Reasoning in sociological or legal terms. At first sight, the topic hinges on the question of what is right or wrong,good or bad, acceptable or not, in the ways that the media collects and publishes information. However, discussing the definition of social responsibility runs the risk of falling into a normative or prescriptive framework, which is ultimately of little practical use, given that media ethics principles will be differently relevant depending on the .specific context, journalists and audiences involved

The Liberal ApproachThose who believe in the liberal approach think that there is no reason Why, in cyberspace, the media should be treated differently from the past. It is Believed that the regulations that are applied to the written press can regulate the Free circulation of information on the internet. Today, the international community is Entitled to reaffirm that access to new means of information and their use should have the same treatment for freedom of expression as the old means. It is not necessary tohave special laws or rules to manage the content of the electronic press.
The protection of security should not, in any circumstances, become an excuse to restrict freedom of the press. Even the motives for violence should not be put forward in this context because there is a clear distinction between the dangers of violenceand the results of violence in information processing. “Historically, the state has often been perceived as the main enemy of freedom of individual expression, while at the same time it has also become, through constitutions and legal systems, the effective guarantor of freedom in important respects.”
Instead of a conclusionMedia today have assumed tremendous importance. Every bit of our activity is not only reflected but also regulated and governed through press (media). Freedom of press aims at the freedom of speech and expression, which are the basic tenets of society. Media is a mighty institution wielding enormous powers and liability to the society, which are expected to be exercised for the protection and well‐being of the people. The moral responsibility of media is to foster liberty, justice, fraternity, peace and human rights in every society. Still media has been facing a perennial dilemma while discharging its rights, duties and obligations.
The future belongs to the common man with uncommon determination I've learned....That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.I've learned....That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand... "Adam and Eve had an ideal marriage. He didn't have to hear about all the men she could have married, and she didn't have to hear about the way his mother cooked." – Kimberly Broyles..."A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband." – Montaigne
ALTHOUGH COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION IS VITAL TO OUR EMOTIONAL WELL BEING AND TO OUR VERY EXISTENCE, the art of communication is one of the most difficult arts to master in life, because it is the Art of "Being Aware of Yourself and your own feelings." We communicate with each other via our words, our emotions, our facial gestures, body language, and our actions. Most of our communication is non-verbal. We take our cue about the meaning of another's communication only 7% from their words, and 93% from their tone of voice. As you all know, when speaking to an animal, what you say doesn't matter. What registers and is responded to is the tone.
There are 3 basic styles of communication:1) Aggressive – rather than assertive 2) Passive - Passive communicators tend to appear weak and self conscious 4) Assertive - The *gold star* of communicators To be a good communicator, first of all you must show up for the conversation. To have a win-win situation in human relationships, where both parties come away feeling good, you must be fully present and wanting to connect with the core essence humanity of the other person. That means wanting to understand their pain, being able to understand or empathize with their joys, their struggles, and to feel compassion for them. You can do this because you also see yourself in their pain, their joys, and their struggles.
Attitude Is Infectious and Drives BehaviorYour attitude is the first thing people pick up on in face-to-face communication. Just as laughing, yawning, and crying are infectious, attitude is infectious. Before you say a word, your attitudes can infect the people who see you with the same behavior. Somehow just by looking or feeling, you can be infected by another person's attitude, and vice versa. When you are operating from inside a really useful attitude, such as enthusiasm, curiosity, and humility, your body language tends to take care of itself and sends out unmistakable signals of openness.
Perhaps the greatest single stumbling block to real communication is the one-sided nature of speaking. Most of us think of "communicating" as a one-way process. Two monologues do not make a dialogue, however. Exchange between you and your targeted prospect is the key to effective communication. So, listening is an active pursuit for selling your ideas.Stop Talking! You can't multi-task speaking and listening. If you're talking, you're not listening. This rule also applies to the talking inside your head. If you're thinking intently about what you want to say, you're not listening to what is being said
The Law of Forced EfficiencyThis law says that, "There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing."Be willing to share what you know and hear what you don't know. Be mindful of what your face and body are conveying nonverbally. Communication is a two-way street. Be a good listener. Listen carefully to all responses. Respect your audience and suspend judgments. If all my possessions were taken from me with one exception, I would choose to keep the power for speech, for by it I would soon regain all the rest." – Daniel Webster
