Communication originally means the exchange of ideas with a community, and as such can include both technical topics like telecommunication and societal issues like mass media. Several [scientific journal]?s have this word in their title, for example [Communications of the ACM]?.

Communication can be treated as indicating something like language and a subject unto itself, or as the name of a field of study.

Communication as a field of study is relatively new. Arguably, it encompasses journalism, media studies (which might include the study of television, radio, and film), and rhetoric, among other fields.

In a more technical sense, see also telegraphy, telephone, computer network.
