Your are the editors of The Royal News, a 17th century British newspaper, and are preparing an issue on the royal colony of Virginia in the New World. There is a great deal of conversation going on in London about the American colony, and the king has sent several noblemen (who will serve as "reporters") to travel to Jamestown and do some research and observation. You will use this information to prepare a newspaper which will inform the British public about their colony overseas. As the king is so fond of reminding you, remember that your audience is the upper class of British society, and that they have mixed feelings about some of Britain's colonial efforts. The Royal News is highly read, and many will be interested in what you have to report about Jamestown and Virginia. This is http://curry.edschool.virginia.edu It was designed by Chad C. Fairey.
