What was the best way to spread information? Everything from news, gossip, and emergencies
In: 71
Word of mouth: official messengers, town criers, bards and griots, travelers (including merchants and pilgrims), religious services
Written word, either handwritten or printed: carried by messengers or couriers, posted in public places like market squares, sold as [broadsides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadside_ballad) or newspapers
The “best” way probably depended on the situation.
