From the very beginning of man there has been someone or something giving the news. When people couldn't read or write they would tell each other what was happening and sometimes drew pictures on walls. By the 1200's there were people who travelled from place to place giving news and telling stories to people. The story of Robin Hood comes from this time. Later, the night watchman in towns would shout out the news that "all was well." Churches were also a place where people could get news and in 1345 the printing press was invented. This allowed for people to get information through books and printed materials. The first newspapers show up in the 1700's and provided all kinds of information. Handbills were also popular to hand out to convince people of various issues. In the 1920's and 30's radio gave people news and when the movies began there always was a newsreel of the latest news. It wasn't until the invention of TV that there was TV news and the evening newscast. Yet. TV didn't have the hundreds of channels it has today, but only 3 or 4. I remember watching the news of the assignation of JKF and saw Ruby shoot Oswald on alive TV. The 3 channels we had only had the death of Kennedy for several days. The news has changed a lot in newspapers and on TV.
