Communication research involves the systematic study of how people convey and interpret messages in various contexts. It covers both verbal and non-verbal communication, including media, interpersonal, organizational, and intercultural interactions. Researchers use a variety of methods, such as surveys, experiments, and case studies, to understand communication patterns and their impact on society. The goal is to improve communication strategies, enhance message effectiveness, and address issues related to misinformation and communication barriers. Ultimately, communication research informs policy, media production, and education to promote better understanding in diverse communities.
