Jackson, Linda

Video bio of Linda Jackson, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2020;

For more than 30 years, Linda Jackson has delivered the news to viewers in northeast Indiana – the vast majority of them from the desk where she has anchored morning or evening newscasts spanning two generations. Jackson graduated from Indiana University with a degree in journalism and got her start in local news as an intern at then-WKJG-TV, the NBC affiliate based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Her first full-time work in broadcasting was as a producer and reporter. She has also served the community in a station management role, and it is as a news anchor that Jackson has become best known in the region. In 2016, Jackson was tapped to lead the re-launched NBC news channel in Fort Wayne. She has served as lead anchor at “Fort Wayne’s NBC” since its launch, helping to establish the news team as a source for engaging and professional coverage in the community.
