This article examines the production and circulation of news across the British Atlantic, focusing on two main events: the royalist rebellion at Barbados (1650-2) and the conquest of Jamaica (1655). Royalists and commonwealth supporters alike cast the rising on Barbados as an extension of the wars of the 1640s and early 1650s, which moved beyond England, Scotland, and Ireland into the Atlantic world. The conquest of Jamaica offered a new war against a different enemy, Spain, and a new imperial vision. Together, the Barbados rebellion and Jamaica conquest allow us to examine role of news in shaping political, military, and imperial goals.

巴巴多斯、牙买加和十七世纪中叶新闻文化的发展

本文研究了整个英国大西洋的新闻生产和传播，重点关注两个主要事件：巴巴多斯的保皇党叛乱（1650-2 年）和征服牙买加（1655 年）。保皇派和英联邦支持者都将巴巴多斯的崛起视为 1640 年代和 1650 年代初期战争的延伸，这场战争超越了英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰，进入了大西洋世界。征服牙买加提供了与另一个敌人西班牙的新战争和新的帝国愿景。巴巴多斯叛乱和牙买加征服一起让我们能够审视新闻在塑造政治、军事和帝国目标中的作用。
