Explain how communication can be both representational and presentational.

What will be an ideal response?

Communication is representational in that it can represent or convey facts and
information in a more objective manner; however, it is also presentational in that most
speakers also are giving their perspective on a particular issue. In other words,
communication can strategically report information in such a way that it puts a speaker’s
preferred “spin” on the subject.
