Gossip

Gossip is an early form of communication in which people talk about and give opinions on current events. When looking at this in terms of media, this is it in its earliest form. The mission of the media are to portray information. Before television, radio, phones, facebook, and electricity, the only way this was possible was through spoken conversation. When this conversation was about people, there actions, or happenings around the cave dwelling it would have been considered gossip.(at least that would be the word for it today.)
