The Shannon-Weaver model is based on the idea that communication is a

linear and one-way process that involves six elements: a source, a transmitter,
a channel, a receiver, a destination, and noise. The source is the person or
entity that has a message to communicate.

The Shannon and Weaver Model of Communication is a mathematical theory of


communication that argues that human communication can be broken down
into 6 key concepts: sender, encoder, channel, noise, decoder, and receiver.

In 1948, Shannon was an American mathematician, Electronic engineer and


Weaver was an American scientist both of them join together to write an article
in “Bell System Technical Journal” called “A Mathematical Theory of
Communication” and also called as “Shannon-Weaver model of communication

The Shannon-Weaver model of communication was a model developed by


engineer and mathematician Claude Shannon and scientist Warren Weaver,
who were looking for a way to simplify communication for engineers into a
simpler and more efficient model.
