COMMUNICATION ETHICS
What is Communication Ethics?

media, and journalism and creates relationships that are
guided by an individual's moral and values. These ethics
consider being aware of the consequences of behavior; it's
to “respect other points of view and tolerate disagreement.
- Maintaining the correct balance between the speaking and
listening.

listener or the speaker would not be prudent. It concerns
not only the individual, but also of great concern to
businesses, corporations and professional entities.

communication is to make the audience understand. The
communication should always be packaged to suit the
receiver’s/ listener level of understanding.

should make it clear that you are sharing specific
information or being social.

concerned topic. Take feedback from time to time that will
help in making the topic clear.
SET A GOAL

because impacting your audience is one of the important
things in effective communication. Everybody should figure
out their real outcome eat the start.

be a key for developing understanding and maintain positive
relationships with others.
7 C’s of Communication

1. CONCISENESS
 First, you should try to get to the point of your
message in as few words as possible, instead beating
about the bush. For all you know, your message
recipient may be strapped for time. Therefore, while
interacting with someone, try saying exactly what you
want to say, using short sentences.
2. CORRECTNESS
 The accuracy of thoughts, figures, and words. If the given
information is not correctly conveyed, the sender will lose
reliability.

communication. It is about being specific and definite rather
than general.

Whatever we speak/communicate should have clarity. The
idea of the message should be very clear in the mind of the
sender.

 Effective communication depends on the completeness of
the message. Incomplete messages create ambiguity in the
audience.

sender should look from the angle of the audience. The
sender should understand the feelings and emotions on the
receivers. It shows that in communication we should
consider the audience.

should know politeness towards others. It facilitates
communication. The polite messages help to strengthen
relationships and to create goodwill, which helps in
expanding the business.
