This cartoon illustrates the concept of mass communication. Mass communication is when the media organizations create messages and share it with the larger population. In the image you can see multiple layers of communication including a news channel, a phone, and a tv. These are all forms of technology that can share messages to a large number of people. The presence of all these things creates a foundation for sharing information through old and new forms of media. Even the clock that is marked 24hr suggests that communication never stops. The cartoon reflects how communication can develop and spread at a fast speed. 

This cartoon reflects my personal experience when I worked as a manager. One of my tasks was to create events for the center and share them. I did this in many different ways. The first source I used was a website called Wix that let me share the new events through the website. I also shared the events through email by copying all of the emails we had and adding them to the mailing list. Lastly, I sent out SMS to each client we had informing them of the new events. By doing this, I was engaging in mass communication by using the different platforms to reach a large audience.
