The informal communication network, also known as the "grapevine," is a channel of communication that operates outside of the formal communication network. It allows employees to speak directly and informally without the risk of the message being altered as it moves through official channels. Rumors and gossip may also be spread through the grapevine, but this is not its primary purpose. The information superhighway is a term used to describe the internet and other advanced telecommunications technology, and gossip culture refers to a workplace environment in which rumors and gossip are prevalent.
