Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A source-dominated model of communication places the primary responsibility for successful communication on the sender or source of the message. In this model, the sender controls the message encoding and transmission, and the success of the communication effort is judged by how effectively the message is transmitted and received by the audience. This model does not place much importance on audience feedback or interpretation, hence it is not feedback-dominated or audience-dominated. It also does not imply that the message is solely dependent on the decoder, hence it is not decoder-dominated.
