Message

A message is a unit of communication that conveys information from a sender to a receiver. It can be transmitted through various forms, such as spoken or written words, signals, or electronic data, and can range from simple instructions to complex information.^[1][2]

The consumption of the message relies on how the recipient interprets the message, there are times where the recipient contradicts the intention of the message which results in a boomerang effect.^[3] Message fatigue is another outcome recipients can obtain if a message is conveyed too much by the source.^[4]

Messages may be addressed to many unidentified recipients. One example of such a message is a press release, which may vary from a brief report or statement released by a public agency to commercial publicity material.^[5] Another example of a message is an advertisement.

In communication between humans, messages can be verbal or nonverbal:

• A verbal message is an exchange of information using words. Examples include face-to-face communication, telephone calls, voicemails, emails, etc.
• A nonverbal message is communicated through actions or behaviors rather than words, such as conscious or unconscious body language.

The phrase "send a message" or "sending a message" is also used for actions taken by a party to convey that party's attitude towards a certain thing. For example, a government that executes people who commit acts of treason is sending a message that treason will not be tolerated.^[6] Conversely, a party that appears through its actions to endorse something that it opposes can be said to be "sending the wrong message",^[6] while one which appears to simultaneously endorse contradictory things can be said to be sending "mixed messages".^[7]
