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.

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汇合正在改变新闻业和记者对其作用和工作的理解的方式。它将研究在何种程度上后殖民民族主义和新自由主义的做法站在紧张局势或在牙买加新闻文化的建设在数字时代一起工作。全球“黑人的命也是命”运动引发了关于种族和体制性种族主义的更激烈的讨论，这影响了牙买加的新闻空间。因此，在牙买加的后殖民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，我的研究还将寻求研究《黑人的命也是命》及其报道如何揭示牙买加记者/新闻业的价值观和当代紧迫性。同时，这项研究还将审查牙买加记者中目前和潜在的抵制新自由主义新闻制作的地点。
