Social Communication Concept

Social Communication can be defined as a knowledge area that studies the human communication and the issues that involve the interaction between different elements in a society. This human communication study involves the information transmission technical analysis, format analysis and the supports with what the information is transmitted and still the analysis of the impacts that the information will have in the society.

Despite this more extensive and complete definition, many times the expression social communication is used just to designate the supports of social communication mingling, in this case, with the mass media concept (radio, television, written press, etc.).
