Learning to Write My Communications Essays

My bachelor's degree in mass communications involve various essay writing tasks related to the different fields of mass communications such as advertising, broadcasting, journalism, public relations, publishing, digital communication, and interpersonal communication. During my first year, we researched and wrote communications essays that involved the general field of communications, but with an emphasis on the specific fields in communications.


But there were communications essays that focused on the general area of communications and interpersonal communications. Since I was still in my first year, I sought help from my friends on how to research and write essays on communications and I read books and other materials on essay writing in the library and from various Internet websites. From the materials I read, I learned some basic tips or guidelines on how to write communications essays.


The basic tips include:


* The several factors that should be found in the contents of communications essays. The essay should allow the writer or the person that is the subject of the essay in sharing his own concerns and interests. Other factors include the essay should show communication activities of body language, listening and talking, and the essay should present information that is related and relevant for the topic.

* The structure of communications essays are similar to the basic structure of academic essays – the parts consisting of the introduction, body and conclusion. The introduction has a single paragraph that presents the topic and a thesis statement in the last part. The body contains several paragraphs with background and supporting information about the topic. The conclusion summarises the main points from the body.
