According to Newman and Hodgetts (1998:64) and Carrel. et al. (1997:256) communication is an
interactive process of transmitting meanings from sender to receiver. Rue and Byars (1993:56)
define it as the process by which information is transferred from one source to another source and
is made meaningful to the individual sources.
Graham and Bennet (1998:93) add to the above by stating that communication consists of all the
processes by which information is transmitted and received. The subject matter may include facts,
intentions. attitudes. etc., and the chief purpose of communication is to make the receiver of a
communication understand what is in the mind of the sender.
Gibson, et at. (1994:573) define communication as the transmission of information and
understanding through the use of common symbols.
