He covered Michigan Wolverines football in the era of Fielding H. Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams and the Detroit Tigers during the early years of Ty Cobb's career in Major League Baseball. Jackson is credited with having given Cobb the nickname, "The Georgia Peach".{{cite book|author=Richard Bak|title=A Place for Summer: A Narrative History of Tiger Stadium|page=94|publisher=Wayne State University Press|year=1998|isbn=0-8143-2512-2}} In 1910, he became the sports editor of The Washington Post.

In 1908, Jackson and Jack Ryder of the Cincinnati Enquirer organized the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA).{{cite book|author=Vince Staten|title=Why Is The Foul Pole Fair?|page=145|publisher=Simon and Schuster|year=2004|isbn=0-7432-6945-4}} The BBWAA was established in response to ongoing disputes over working conditions in, and control over, press boxes. The press boxes at many fields were cramped, and team owners had begun to offer seating in the press boxes to actors, friends and others who were not members of the working press. Frequently, there was no room for reporters from the visiting team.{{cite news|title=BASEBALL WRITERS ARE ORGANIZED; WILL COMBAT THE PRESS BOX EVIL|newspaper=Detroit Free Press|date=October 15, 1908|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/freep/access/1743352852.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Oct+15%2C+1908&author=&pub=Detroit+Free+Press+(1858-1922)&desc=BASEBALL+WRITERS+ARE+ORGANIZED%3B+WILL+COMBAT+THE+PRESS+BOX+EVIL&pqatl=google|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130131205720/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/freep/access/1743352852.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Oct+15,+1908&author=&pub=Detroit+Free+Press+(1858-1922)&desc=BASEBALL+WRITERS+ARE+ORGANIZED;+WILL+COMBAT+THE+PRESS+BOX+EVIL&pqatl=google|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 31, 2013}}{{cite book|editor=Harold "Speed" Johnson|title=Who's Who in Major League Baseball|year=1933|page=491}} The issue came to a head during the 1908 World Series between the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs when visiting baseball writers in Chicago were seated in the back row of the grandstand and in Detroit "were compelled to climb a ladder to the roof of the first base pavilion and write in the rain and snow".{{cite book|author=Henry P.

The organization was established at a meeting held at the Pontchartrain Hotel in Detroit, Michigan, on October 14, 1908, following the 1908 World Series.{{cite news|title=Baseball Writers Organize|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 15, 1908|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1908/10/15/104761283.pdf}} Jackson was selected as the organization's first president and held that position for 11 years from 1908 to 1919.{{cite news|title=RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE BASEBALL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION|newspaper=Detroit Free Press|date=December 16, 1909|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/freep/access/1747863912.html?FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:AI&type=historic&date=Dec+16%2C+1909&author=&pub=Detroit+Free+Press+(1858-1922)&desc=RE-ELECTED+PRESIDENT+OF+THE+BASEBALL+WRITERS%27+ASSOCIATION&pqatl=google|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130131235004/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/freep/access/1747863912.html?FMT=CITE&FMTS=CITE:AI&type=historic&date=Dec+16,+1909&author=&pub=Detroit+Free+Press+(1858-1922)&desc=RE-ELECTED+PRESIDENT+OF+THE+BASEBALL+WRITERS'+ASSOCIATION&pqatl=google|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 31, 2013}}{{cite web|publisher=Baseball Writers' Association of America|title=Constitution, Addendum B, BBWAA Presidents|date=14 February 2009 |url=http://bbwaa.com/constitution/}} When Jackson stepped down as president in October 1919, the Association presented him with "a handsome traveling bag".{{cite news|title=Baseball Writers Thank Hermann|newspaper=The New York Times|date=October 3, 1919|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1919/10/03/118160832.pdf}}

In 1921, Jackson moved to California and worked for several years there. He died in San Francisco, California, in June 1936.{{cite news|title=Obituary|newspaper=The Sporting News|date=June 11, 1936|page=2}} Edgar Guest, known as the "People's Poet", began his writing career with the Detroit Free Press in the early 1900s. After learning of Jackson's death, Guest published a poem titled "Joe S. Jackson" which provided in part:

"Joe wrote of baseball in the years gone by
And all the sports which men and boys enjoyed.
His was the nimble brain, the watchful eye,
Mine was the poor assistance he employed
* * *
Word comes that Joe is dead. The game goes on!
Before the march of time all champions fall.
Now those he lavished praise and help upon
Only the dusty record books recall.{{cite news|author=Edgar A. Guest|title=Just Folks|newspaper=Lima News|date=June 30, 1936}}
