This means translating a message into coded message that can be understood by the listener when the decode it. A sender uses a particular medium of their choice to actual send these symbols representing their message , a medium can be an email, a text message , a phone call or face to face meeting. The sender has to ensure that there are no distractions or influences (noise) that may impact the decoding of the message
