All or nearly all (hey, maybe someone's incommunicado) of the main cast is regularly kept apprised of all important events. If something big happens, everyone knows within a couple of chapters or episodes. No one learns 50 episodes later that everyone else knew his brother was a spy, or that her husband was cheating on her. The characters are actively trying to relay important information and relationships to one another. The complete opposite of PoorCommunicationKills. Doesn't happen often due to RuleOfDrama, but when it does, the story is usually better for it.

Note that this does not require the complete absence of information that someone is being kept from knowing. If the characters are otherwise making an active effort at pushing info, or not making decisions based on or despite unknown feelings, around then it still applies.

[[folder: Anime and Manga]]

* In ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'', everyone is kept apprised of the evolving situation as information filters through. It helps that cell phones are a major part of the plot.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', the heroes make every attempt to inform each other despite being spread out. There is only one aversion, when the death of Hughes is kept from the Elrics.
* Marta telling Al about Fuhrer Bradley in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003''; as soon as she learns the information, telling him is the first thing she does (which is good as immediately afterward, [[spoiler:Bradley kills her]]).

[[folder: Fan Works]]

* ''Fanfic/EbottsWake'': All the main characters know about plot developments relating to the town at large[[note]]as opposed to about Frisk personally[[/note]] by the time they become relevant. Even though not all the main characters directly interact much, cell phones and the the overlaps between various groups of main characters ensure that everyone's up to date. If something catches a protagonistic character off-guard, it's only because none of the rest of the main cast could've told them.

[[folder: Film]]

* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', everyone knows pretty much immediately about Scott, age 23, dating a high schooler, to the point that Scott tells his friend Wallace, who is drunk and passed out, and not two seconds later Scott's sister calls to yell at him about it.
-->'''Scott''' (noticing Wallace, who is passed out but holding his cell phone as if he'd sent a text while unconscious): Wallace, that gossipy bitch...

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Literature]]

* Katherine Kurtz's Literature/{{Deryni}} novels ''The Bishop's Heir'' and ''The King's Justice''. Many of the characters make regular efforts to invoke Mind Speech over distances to explain where they are on a military campaign, or to keep the ones on campaign up to date on what's happening back home. These efforts are often integral to the plot.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', usually. Anytime there's a big secret between two characters, it's only an episode or two before it's resolved. The one big exception is Chuck's spy status.
* ''Series/StargateUniverse'': Maybe it's the close environment, but people on the ''Destiny'' don't keep secrets for very long.
* Averted in early seasons of ''Series/GameOfThrones'', where it takes reasonably long periods of time for characters on the other side of a continent (or on a different continent entirely) to hear even major news - it takes a full season for Daenerys to learn that King Robert is dead. However, later on when everyone starts TravelingAtTheSpeedOfPlot, even characters at vast distances apart will be immediately aware of everything that happens with no obvious indication that any in-universe time has passed.

[[folder: Web Comics]]

* Used or averted [[RuleOfFunny whenever it's funny or convenient]] in ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge''. Proto Man can [[NoFourthWall read the comic]] to know what's happening elsewhere, but the author generally keeps track of who knows what. For example, even though Bob is a main character with a lot of screentime, several characters late in the strip have to stop and ask who he is because they've never spoken.
* The main cast of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' typically make a point of keeping each other in the loop regarding the constant supernatural happenings. As such, plotlines regarding one character not knowing something important only happen outside the main cast, and even temporary misunderstandings only happen when Susan is being reclusive and hasn't talked to anyone in a while.
