As a participant in Santa Barbara's social scene, her "By The Way..." column provided that perspective in vivid detail to her readers.

    Jackson went on to write for two other Santa Barbara periodicals, the Santa Barbara Independent and VOICE, continuing to contribute stories until four months before her death in August 2020.
