History Of Jamaican Newspapers
In Colonial Jamaica, during the 18th and 19th centuries, there were a number of newspapers that represented the views of the white planters who owned slaves. These newspapers included the ''Royal Gazette, The Diary and Kingston Daily Advertiser, Cornwall Chronicle, Cornwall Gazette'', and ''Jamaica Courant''. These newspapers often served parochial interests. ''The Diary and Kingston Advertiser'' served white residents in the city of Kingston and surrounding areas, while the ''Cornwall Chronicle'' and ''Cornwall Gazette'' catered to white planters and merchants in Montego Bay and surrounding areas.
