“Extra, extr…” **stops record**
Nope, not in this irie island of Jamaica, try this!
“Mirror, Mirror, Mirror!” “ Gleeeaner, Obseeerver, Heeerald!”
Yup, thats more like it! In my neck of the woods at least :-) Growing up in Montego Bay Jamaica, those were the call of the news paper men, out and about from early in the mornings to sell the newspapers.

The first publication of printed news in Jamaica was the weekly Courant in 1718. Boy have we come far from then or what? It would be nearly a century later before the Daily Gleaner was established, but hey, we did make a lot of progress!!
We have quite a few more news paper to chose from since then… some local to some parts of Jamaica, for example, the Western Mirror for the western side of Jamaica, while others are distributed islandwide.
See https://www.my-island-jamaica.com/jamaican_newspapers.html for our top news papers here on the island.
Now I’m you know that by now newspaper is not our only means of communicating news here on the island (well, I hope you do). With technology being so advanced, you can hardly expect us to not keep up. Before I even enter the world of advanced technology, hit that pause button, and lets take a look at the technology that started it all.
I hope this helps! Thanks for reading ;-)
