There is a list of interesting jobs that we'll never have again, and a town crier is, of course, on the list. It's
been a long time since town criers worked professionally, so there are not many people knowing who town criers
were. Today we can only see them in the movies or at some old tourist sites. Before newspapers were invented, a
town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming voice, always dressed officially and had a little
bell which he carried with him always. His job was to go through city streets ringing the bell and shouting the
latest news as he was walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting, internet, and all the
marvels of modern technology. Today this occupation exists only for entertaining purposes and as local folklore.
Competitions for the best town criers are still being held in some parts of the world like America. Australia,
Canada and England.
