  2. Communication • A process in which participants create and share information with one another in order to reach mutual understanding (Rogers, 1995). • Carey’s “Information Transmission vs Ritual Mode” • Sophisticated and Complex Process • Mediated • More than Transmission • What does it “will” as it “Works?”

  4. Distinctions • Medium: Traditionally understood as intermediary in transmission of messages • Media: Traditionally understood as large broadcast system for dissemination • New Understandings: • Medium as vehicle, “wrapper,” not necessarily or easily detached from “media.” • Media as both: systems of dissemination, but also cultural systems that “grow” around particular mediums and ICTs • Mediation as process not just of transmission

  5. Distinctions, Part II • Mass Media, Mass Communication: • Large audience centered (diverse audiences) • Public transmission, coordinated and technologically organized for synchronicity • Usually not interactive (direction is linear and usually from few to many). One way communication. • Authority and legitimacy of messages centered on expertise, access, control of means of dissemination

  6. New Media Audiences Diverse (time and space of audience and messages different) • More “Social” and Interactive (less linear) • Shift in Control from Source to Communicators • Variability in Form and means of dissemination • Faster Access, Ubiquitous (mobile, etc.) • Constantly Shifting (technology moves quickly) • Authority and Legitimacy of Messages Change • Change in Consumption and Cultural Production Patterns by Audience Members • Remediates
