Or you could go the old time route ...

* Acta Diurna: Public Notices (Court Cases, Decrees of assorted Magistrates etc.) and some general news, placed in the Roman Forum from the mid 2nd century BC till the government moved to Constantinople. Evidently inscribed on copper or metal plates and archived, sometimes copied by scribes and sent to Provincial Governors.

As an extension, Caesar's 'De Bello Gallico' were letters sent back to Rome to be published/read or generally made public to the Plebs to maintain support against the Patricians who, generally, hated his guts.

* Town Crier: A long tradition going back to early medieval times. A public official whose job it was to make public announcements of laws, regulations, decrees, market days etc. etc.

Don't need a lot of tech to do those things.

Getting the news in the first place would come via the usual suspects, depending on the degree of damage to comms infrastructure, but you don't really need newspapers or radio stations for basic news distribution.
