Town Crier
Today, we have our TVs, computers and smartphones to provide us any news and information we might need, but in the past, they had the town crier for that. Just like it sounds, the town crier would announce the news and other important announcement for the whole town to hear. He “cried out loud” – and hence the name.
Today, if we want to hear the latest news or get some information about any topic at all, we open the computer or our phone and check it online. However, did you ever wonder what they did before the internet was available? (Probably not, why would you?). The town crier was employed by the city council to deliver important announcements.
