Media And Information Literacy Practice Test

Sharing and conveying messages from one person to another, using symbols or gestures, describes the act of communication. It’s a process that includes encoding an idea into a message, sending it through a channel, and decoding it by the recipient, often with feedback and the possibility of interference or noise that can change meaning. Communication covers both spoken language and nonverbal cues like signs, gestures, and symbols, making it the right term for describing how information is conveyed between people. The other options refer to types of media—ways messages are carried—rather than the act of transmitting the message itself. Print media, the Internet, and broadcast media are channels or platforms, while communication is the process of actually sharing and interpreting those messages.
