ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jack Kelley (journalist)

Jack Kelley was someone who wrote stories for newspapers and magazines. He was very good at his job and won a lot of awards. But then some people started to think that maybe he was making up some of his stories. That means he wasn't telling the truth about what really happened. When you write news stories, you are supposed to tell the truth about what happened so that people can know what is really going on in the world. So people got really upset and did an investigation to find out if Jack Kelley was telling the truth or not. They found out that he wasn't always telling the truth and that he had made up some of his stories. It's really important to always tell the truth, especially when you are writing news stories.
