Correct Answer - Option 3 : Five
Lasswell model of communication:
- Lasswell's model of communication (also known as Lasswell's communication model) describes an act of communication by defining who said it, what was said, in what channel it was said, to whom it was said, and with what effect it was said.
- It is regarded by many communication and public relations scholars as "one of the earliest and most influential communication models."
- The model was developed by American political scientist and communication theorist Harold Lasswell in 1948 while he was a professor at Yale Law School.
- The model organizes the "scientific study of the process of communication".
- The main focus of the model is broken down by each element of communication: "'who' refers to the communicator who formulates the message; 'what' is the content of the message; 'channel' indicates the medium of transmission; 'whom' describes either an individual recipient or the audience of mass communication; 'effect' is the outcome of the message..."
- The elements include Communicator, Message, Medium, Audience, and Effect.
