Journalist and author Sinan Saygı’s latest work, “Communication is a Process,” has been published by Gece Kitaplığı Publishing House. The book thoroughly examines the concept of communication from a theoretical perspective.

“Communication is a Process” comprehensively addresses fundamental approaches to the communication process, communication models, the functions and elements of the process, mass communication, and public opinion. Additionally, it includes sections on public opinion research and ethical rules in the media.

Communication and Socialization

In his book, Sinan Saygı emphasizes that the concept of communication is one of the fundamental elements of socialization. He points out that the word “communication,” derived from the Latin word “communis,” signifies that communication is a two-way process. This process consists of the transmitter of the message, the transmitted message, and the individual receiving the message.

Mass Communication and Its Importance

Saygı asserts that face-to-face communication has always been decisive, but mass communication also plays a crucial role in this process. He explains with examples that throughout history, those in power who held sway over public opinion have always valued mass communication. Saygı hopes that his book will be beneficial to students studying communication, academicians, researchers, and individuals interested in learning about communication.
