Thomas Horatio Jackson (1879–1935) was a Nigerian newspaper editor and publisher, who has been called a "veritable titan of the Lagos Press".[1] Jackson's career, like that of his father John Payne Jackson, has been said to "exemplify the militant and crusading zeal of the pioneer journalists" in Nigeria.[2]
Lifeedit
After his father died in 1915 Jackson became editor of the Lagos Weekly Record.[3] In 1923 he was involved in the founding of the Nigerian National Democratic Party.[4]
In 1925 Jackson was imprisoned for an article arguing that the Supreme Court judges were nothing more than tools of the executive.[5]
