There was no electronic media in the middle ages, nor were there newspapers or other publications. News was passed from one person to the next, throughconversationand gossip. Long distance communication was even more haphazard, as there was no formal post, and sending letters (among the few who could read and write) depended on finding a trustworthytraveler, or having enough resources to hire a messenger.

They had printing presses and published newspapers. The continental congress established a post office. Prior to that one could subscribe to the services of a private carrier.

There was no telegraph service at that time. There WAS sometimes a town crier, who would call out some news events with the hour.

They also made the committees of correspondence who used express riders to deliver news between the colonies.
