Neoliberalism, Postcolonial Nationalism, and the Media: The Case of Jamaica and the reporting of the Black Lives Matter movement

这项研究将探讨当代牙买加后殖民民族主义和新自由主义的融合如何改变新闻业和记者对其作用和工作的理解。它将考察后殖民民族主义和新自由主义做法在数字时代牙买加新闻文化建设中的紧张程度或共同作用。全球黑人生命也是运动引发了一场关于种族和体制种族主义的更激烈的讨论，这影响了牙买加的新闻业。因此，在牙买加后殖民时期的种族关系和新配置的新自由主义印刷和广播新闻编辑室的背景下，我的研究还将试图审查黑人生活是如何重要的，其报道揭示了牙买加记者/新闻业的价值观和当代必要性。同时，这项研究还将调查牙买加记者目前和潜在的抵制新自由主义新闻生产的地点。

This study will examine the ways in which the confluence of postcolonial nationalism and neoliberalism in contemporary Jamaica is changing journalism and journalists' understandings of their role and work. It will examine the extent to which postcolonial nationalism and neoliberal practices stand in tension or work together in the construction of Jamaican news cultures in a digital age. The global Black Lives Matter movement has provoked a more intense discussion on race and institutional racism which has impacted the space of journalism in Jamaica. Therefore, in the context of Jamaica's postcolonial race relations and newly configured neoliberal print and broadcast newsrooms, my study will also seek to examine how Black Lives Matter and its coverage reveals the values and contemporary imperatives of Jamaican journalists/journalism. In tandem, the study will also examine current and potential sites of resistance to neoliberal news production amongst Jamaican journalists.
