West Indian Gazette (WIG) was a newspaper founded in March 1958 in Brixton, London, England, by Trinidadian communist & black nationalist activist Claudia Jones (1915–1964).[1] The title as displayed on its masthead was subsequently expanded to West Indian Gazette And Afro-Asian Caribbean News.[2][3] WIG is widely considered to have been Britain's first major commercial black newspaper.[4][5] Jones, who originally worked on its development with Amy Ashwood Garvey, was its editor.[6] WIG lasted until 1965, but always struggled financially, closing eight months and four editions after Claudia Jones's death.[7]
