News traveled very slowly in 1800. There was no TV, no radio, no telephone and no telegraph. Word of mouth was likely the fastest mode of communication, but people lived relatively far apart, so news did not travel from one town to another except by horseback or stagecoach or boat. As the century progressed, telegraphs, rail travel. , fast steam-ships and eventually telephones and the Trans-Atlantic and trans continental telegraph cables greatly sped up the spread of news.
