Jacobite newspaper

A Jacobite newspaper was a publication that supported the Jacobite cause, which aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British throne in the 17th and 18th centuries. These newspapers often promoted loyalty to the Stuarts, criticized the ruling Hanoverian kings, and expressed sympathy for the Jacobite rebellions. They served as a voice for those who believed in restoring the traditional monarchy and often operated secretly due to political repression. Today, such newspapers are studied as historical documents that reveal the political sentiments and social dynamics of their time.
