SPIRITUAL GEMS:
Job 37:20. How was information and news transmitted in biblical lands? (it-1 519).
In the case of everyday news, both local and foreign, they were usually communicated by word of mouth. Travelers told news of distant places when they stopped in cities or at points on caravan routes to obtain food, water, and other provisions. The unique position that the land of Palestine occupied in relation to Asia, Africa and Europe, made it a place of passage for people from distant places. So its residents could easily obtain information about important events in foreign countries.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
One of the answers is that daily news, both local and foreign, was transmitted verbally. This method implied that the information was told by word of mouth, either by local citizens or by travelers who shared stories from distant places.
The Travelers played a key role in the dissemination of news, when they traveled and stopped in cities or at caravan route points to obtain food, water and other provisions, they also shared the news they had collected on their journeys, this contributed to the spread of information between communities.
And speaking of the land of Palestine, it occupied a unique position between Asia, Africa and Europe, making it a transit point for people from distant places.

In the case of everyday news, both local and foreign, they used to be communicated, as already mentioned, by word of mouth. Travelers told news of distant places when they stopped at cities or points on caravan routes to get food, water, and other provisions. The unique position that the land of Palestine occupied in relation to Asia, Africa and Europe made it a place of passage for people from distant places, so that its residents could easily obtain information about important events in foreign countries.
It is clear that there were no social networks like my cell phones today, but it has been recorded that they used different methods, for example: daily news, both local and foreign, was communicated by word of mouth, that is, verbally, travelers also told news about places. distant when they stopped in the cities to obtain food, water and other provisions, also national and foreign news could usually be heard in the market square of the cities.
So it's not like today when there are newscasts, there are media outlets, there are cell phones that transmit us the latest breaking news in real time, so it is a very interesting point as well.
In the Biblical lands of ancient times, the transmission of information and news was carried out mainly orally. They communicated verbally, whether by travelers telling what they knew about distant places when they stopped at places or waypoints, or in the market square of cities, where national and foreign news was often heard. Given Palestine's strategic position between Asia, Africa and Europe, it was a transit point for people from different regions, allowing residents to easily obtain information about important events in other countries.
People told stories, stories and news from generation to generation through the tradition of oral communication. Elder leaders or designated individuals were responsible for conveying important events and teaching through the spoken word.
In more advanced times, writing was used to document important information, texts were recorded on rolls of papyrus or parchment, this method was more durable than oral tradition and allowed information to be preserved and shared more efficiently.
The scribes played a crucial role in the creation and preservation of these documents, we see that in more urgent situations the information was transmitted through messengers or correspondents, this person traveled from one place to another carrying important messages, the speed and effectiveness of this way of communication, depended largely on the distance and the conditions to which they had to travel.
