John Payne Jackson was a Liberian-born journalist who was influential in Lagos, Nigeria around the turn of the 20th century. The administration of Governor G. T. Carter subsidized Jackson's Lagos Weekly Record in its early days at an annual rate of about ₤150 on the pretext of buying advertising space. The newspaper soon became established. Jackson's writing combined incisive rhetoric with broad learning, and used apposite quotations from a wide variety of sources. He and Herbert Samuel Heelas Macaulay were the leaders of the growing nationalist movement in Nigeria by 1914. Their ambitious objectives and rabble-rousing approach were viewed with hostility by both the government and the leading members of the African elite. Jackson died on 1 August 1915.
