Communication models: A communication model illustrates the process of information exchange between sender and receiver. It typically includes components like encoding (sender's creation of a message), transmission (conveyance through a channel), decoding (receiver's interpretation), and feedback (response influencing subsequent communication). Models like Shannon-Weaver or Berlo's S-M-C-R depict elements and flow of communication interactions, aiding in understanding communication dynamics. See also Broadcasting model, Network model._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Economic Theories on Communication Models - Dictionary of Arguments
Kranton I 423 Communication Models/Bloch/Demange/Kranton/Economic Theories: (…) the model [by Bloch, Demange and Kranton] combines two classic elements of information games: “cheap talk” (Crawford and Sobel, 1982)(1) in the decision of the initial receiver of the signal as to whether or not to create a truthful message, and “persuasion” (Milgrom, 1981(2); Milgrom and Roberts, 1986(3)) in the decision of agents who subsequently choose whether to transmit the message, which they cannot transform. In our model, there are multiple equilibria, along the lines of cheap talk games. However, as in persuasion games, at the transmission stage agents have an incentive to pass on credible information to other agents. In our model (Bloch/Demange/Kranton), there is a single unknown source of information and agents are Bayesian, but due to differences in their preferences and the possibility of falsification and blocking, they may end up with different beliefs and choose different actions. >Misinformation/Economic Theories, >Communication Models/Kranton. 1.
