What is the Transmission Model?
The Transmission Model of communication depicts communication as a linear, one-way process. The focus and importance is on the sender of the message. The receiver, who receives and decodes the message, is seen as an end-point in the communication process.
Note: Modern communication theory puts far greater emphasis on the role of the receiver of the message.
