For the wealthy and the literate, letters and private messengers were relied on tell each other news. Parchment made from goat or sheep skin would be used and were sealed with wax with a distinct emblem unique to the sender, this was to maintain privacy and made sure no one would tamper with their letters.

The lower classes however, would have to rely on travelling merchants or tinkers by word of mouth for far-off news. Important news would be spread by bards who would sing ballads (long poetry or songs) at festivals of meal time detailing events such as new marriage, birth or deaths of important people within the community.
