It discusses group dynamics, oratory, media and culture, etc... It includes a lot of areas that were once separate areas of study such as journalism, film studies, speech, and tech writing. Telecommunication is the technical field that addresses the mechanical aspects and is related more to engineering than to theory. It addresses much of the how such as how does fiber optic cable work.
