History of Kazakh journalism

Abstract: In ancient times, under the conditions of nomadic society in Kazakhstan, journalism existed in primitive forms. Word-of-mouth became a means of accumulating, processing, presenting and disseminating information in the Kazakh steppes. The nomadic poets did this quite professionally. They were called "akyns" and "zhyrau" who were poets, musicians and collectors of legends and songs, moving from village to village, and spontaneously retelling the news. In Kazakhstan, this was called “uzun-kulak” – “long ears”, which was the archetype of today’s “information services”.
