section Summary
 
 
Communication is the process of exchanging information usually via a common system of symbols and "Communication studies" is the academic discipline which studies communication.

Almost every university that has a journalism program also offers a distinct program often from the same department of studies in mass communication, which includes the technical aspects production of newspapers, radio programs, television shows, and films. Unlike journalism and related fields like public relations and advertising, the study of mass communication focuses less on the message that is delivered, and more on the means by which this delivery occurs. In today's world the Internet is playing a vital role in delivering news and information to remote places where traditional delivery means do not serve. The discipline also differs from media studies, which focuses on the effects that mass media have on the population.
