As long as your sending the same message to more than one receiver (friend s), then yes.
Linear communication is a one-way process of sending information from a sender to a receiver without feedback. It involves a straightforward flow of information in which the sender transmits a message to the receiver, who simply receives and interprets it without any further interaction. This type of communication is common in mass media, public speeches, and lectures.
Maletzke's model of communication is a linear model that includes the sender, message, channel, receiver, and feedback. It emphasizes the importance of feedback in the communication process to ensure that the message is understood as intended by the sender. The model highlights the dynamic nature of communication in which feedback loops allow for adjustments and clarification of the message.
One salient component of the mass communication process is the message itself, which conveys information to a large audience through various channels. Another important component is the medium of communication, such as television, radio, or social media, through which the message is transmitted. Additionally, the audience plays a critical role in the process, as they receive, interpret, and respond to the message.
Actually, it is "mass" communication (two words) you are asking about. Mass communication refers to using a mass medium to send your communication. The mass media (medium= singular, media= plural) include radio, television, newspapers, magazines, books, movies, internet, and recorded music. Your message to the audience might be spoken, or it might be written. It might be songs, political speeches, interviews with celebrities, jokes, talks by experts about medicine or sports, or some other kind of communication... But when you send it out by using the mass media, that is how mass communication occurs. Mass communication can reach large audiences-- in fact, it can reach people all over the world. But often, the audience is anonymous (we don't know, for example, who heard that song or who liked that speech); and mass communication also does not offer instant feedback or an instant reaction -- there is a delay between when the person hears (or reads or watches) it and when they can react to it. For example, I just wrote a new book and maybe you will buy it. But while I am sending my communication through the mass medium of books, it will take a while between the time you buy it and read it, and when you can get back to me to tell me what you think.

There is no single definition of the word "communication." However, communication can be defined as the verbal and nonverbal transmission of messages and interpretation of those messages. Mass communication would be based off the same definition, but it would refer more to 1 person addressing a large amount of people through some sort of medium such as a radio, television, or even a social media website such as facebook or twitter. Mass media is not just the news media, rather it is any sort of mass communicated message through a medium
Mass Communication is a process of communication in a large group of people by the help of a medium.
