communicators
Those who convey
Communicators are people who convey information or ideas to others.
The term usually implies skill or profession—a good communicator expresses thoughts clearly, while corporate communicators handle public relations and messaging.
The word can also refer to devices that enable communication: Star Trek popularized the handheld communicator as a futuristic radio.
