A town crier is a person who was employed in the past to make public announcements in a town or village. The town crier would typically shout the news or proclamations loudly in a public space, such as a marketplace, so that people could hear important messages or events. They would often carry a bell to attract attention and ensure their message was heard. Town criers were commonly used before newspapers and other forms of mass communication became widely available, serving as a primary source of information for the community.
