crier
Public news shouter
A crier is someone who cries out—announcing, proclaiming, or calling attention to something.
The town crier was once an official who walked through streets announcing news and proclamations: Hear ye, hear ye!
The role is mostly ceremonial now, though court criers still call courtrooms to order.
More generally, a crier is simply someone who cries or weeps.
