Abstract

This paper examines the new and emerging nature of communication which provides the new duality of the imperatives of communicating masses, away from the traditional nature of communication which provides for mass communication only. Rather than communicating to the masses, the new concept of modern communication stipulates a mass response/interactive model, instead of the traditional one-way linear mode of communication. Modern technology, especially the computer and digitization, has opened up lots of opportunities and empowerment to the mass of the citizenry. In the new communication era, this fundamental has become very important to democracy and good governance. The paper notes that, in Europe and America, technology is increasingly offering a platform for the masses to talk or initiate dialogue.
