Provide a brief, one-
paragraph recap of the
sample provided.
Include the following in
your paragraph for each
source:
What is the topic of
communication?

elements make the

How does this
particular source

The American Red Cross is an organization that is there to help in
any type of disaster, they are an international organization that is
there to help. The online format is there to be able to ask for
help, see how people can help, and where to go to help.
The topic of communication for this would fall under the
interaction model when talking about communication because
communication can happen over time, and it allows the recipient
to listen to what is needed and act when needed.
The target audience would be geared more towards adults and
anyone who needs help or wants to help.
The fact that the organization is all about helping when a natural
disaster happens is what is so powerful, they are truly there to
help. The American Red Cross is a well-known organization that
viewers can go to the website and see what they have done to
help, and where viewers can go to help.
This particular source creates content that is applicable to a
variety of diverse audience members by just simply posting the
stories of how they have helped all over the world. Different
disasters all over the world are right on the homepage of their
website.

The topic of communication on the website above is essentially
just a hate website, the title of the site is Hate Speech
International, the investigate extremist and post articles and
resources about their findings. The way they communicate would
fall more under the action model of communication because the
website is just a platform to just post things, and not much of a
back and forth just a one-sided way of communicating. I would
say the target audience of this site would be more geared towards
adults more specifically adults who are into reading articles about
instances like theories. This website is enticing to viewers by the
way it looks but the type of things that are written on the
website. Under the vision section of the website: “
Our vision is to
elevate the public understanding of extremism as a phenomenon
and to increase the overall ability, knowledge and will of media
organizations to report on such matters.” (hatespeech.org). The
first sentence of the vision says it all for what the website stands
for and is about.
There are many articles on this website that are all about the
extremism that is happening all over the world so they have some
very diverse audience members and can be viewed as
international audiences since the articles are from so many
different stories.
