Align each communication channel name on the left with its matching definition on the right.
Left 1 maps to Right 1, Left 2 maps to Right 2, Left 3 maps to Right 3, Left 4 maps to Right 4.
Matches correspond directly to standard organizational communication definitions in public administrative theory.
