Shannon assumes communication initiated by SELECTING a desired message from a set of possible messages
•Then, information is the amount of uncertainty in the SOURCE (not the message).  This the amount of entropy (randomness).  “Information is a measure of one’s freedom of choices when one selects a message.” P. 9
•Weaver discussed three levels of communication problem
–Accuracy of transmission (technical problem)
–Degree of meaning (semantic problem)
–Effect of transmission (effectiveness problem)
•Do not confuse information with meaning!!
