Thomas P. Inman, a longtime editorial page editor for The Greenville News who was known for holding government officials accountable, has died.
Inman, who served as the editorial page editor from 1980-2000, died early Sunday, according to an obituary posted by Mackey's Funerals and Cremations in Greenville.
A native of North Carolina, Inman had been the editorial page editor of The News & Observer in Raleigh, North Carolina and editor of The Hickory (N.C.) Daily Record before joining The Greenville News as editorial page editor in 1980.
He'd been hired by Rhea Eskew and appointed to succeed long-time editor Jim McKinney, said Bern Mebane, a former publisher of The Greenville News, in an email.
