A mediated channel refers to a form of communication where a medium or technology is used to transmit a message between a sender and a receiver. This can include various forms of technology such as phones, emails, social media, or even traditional mail. In relation to the communication model discussed in this chapter, a mediated channel plays a crucial role in the transmission of the message. In the communication model, the sender encodes a message and transmits it through a mediated channel, which then delivers the message to the receiver. The receiver then decodes the message to understand its meaning. The mediated channel serves as the means through which the message is transmitted, and it can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of communication. Different mediated channels have different characteristics and can affect the message in various ways. For example, a face-to-face conversation may allow for more immediate feedback and nonverbal cues, while an email may lack these elements. Understanding the role of mediated channels in the communication model is important for effectively choosing the right channel for a given message and for understanding how the channel may impact the communication process.
