channel-rich

Solution
Answer
The answer is channel-lean.
Explanation
Option 1: Channel-rich
A channel-rich context involves multiple channels of communication, such as voice, gestures, facial expressions, and text. This is not applicable to a tweet, which relies solely on text.
Option 2: Channel-full
This term is not commonly used in communication theory and does not accurately describe the context of a tweet.
Option 3: Channel tess
This term is not recognized in communication theory and does not apply to the context of a tweet.
Option 4: Channel-lean
A channel-lean context relies on fewer channels of communication, typically just text. Tweets are a prime example of channel-lean communication because they depend solely on written text without the aid of non-verbal cues like voice tone or body language.
