 USATODAY.com - Kelley issues apology as more fabrications emerge
Why Kelley — a devout Christian who once told a magazine that he was drawn to journalism because "God has called me to proclaim truth" — perpetrated such frauds remains a mystery.
In Yugoslavia in 1999, for instance, a refugee takes time to speak to Kelley even while the refugee believes dogs are trying to eat the body of his dead son.
As Kelley said in speeches last year, his approach to writing stories was simple: "Make it gripping.

What made detection harder for the editors who supervised him and the reporters who later investigated him is that Kelley's reporting was often solid and his stories, even those that relied on anonymous sources, were accurate.
-- Kelley issues an apology, saying, "I recognize that I cannot make amends for the harm I have caused to my family, friends and colleagues.
But one of the major editorial changes came in the paper's approach to the use of unnamed sources, one of the major methods Kelley used to cover up his more questionable stories.

 Jack Kelley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kelley was also a faculty member of the World Journalism Institute, an organization dedicated to creating "Christian worldview journalists" who "accompany reporting with [...] a perspective committed to the final authority of the Bible as the inerrant written word of God".
The scandal of Kelley, a devout Christian and faculty member of the Christian World Journalism Institute, led some commentators to suggest that some of Kelley's fabrications may have been religiously motivated.
In March 2004, it came out that he had long been fabricating stories, going so far as to write up scripts so associates could pretend to be sources.

A devout Christian, he declared, "God has called me to proclaim truth." Last week his paper revealed him to be a fraud.
