Abstract

The German researcher Gerhard Maletzke developed a Model of Mass Communication from the social communication perspective in his study The Psychology of Mass Communication (1963). The novelty of his approach resides in viewing the mass-media as a transmission relay for communication among social actors, and not as a communicator. This article provides a synthesis of the original theoretical model and an inventory of its possible uses in online communication.
