About Kelly Jackson Founder, Publisher & Investigative Reporter | TruthWire News

Kelly Jackson is the founder and publisher of TruthWire News, an independent Tennessee news publication dedicated to investigative reporting, government accountability, and the stories that deserve more scrutiny than the mainstream headlines often provide.

With a bachelor's degree in Communications, specializing in Mass Communication and Journalism, and a professional background spanning law enforcement intelligence, corporate investigations, legal research, and compliance, Kelly brings an investigative perspective to her reporting. Her experience includes serving as an intelligence analyst and criminal history examiner with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, conducting corporate fraud investigations for Amazon, and working in legal and regulatory environments where evidence, accuracy, and attention to detail are essential.

Kelly began her professional journalism career reporting on Tennessee politics, legislation, and public policy for The Tennessee Conservative. Her reporting increasingly focused on the decisions being made in Nashville, the influence of political organizations and special interests, and the disconnect between elected officials and the constituents they represent.

In founding TruthWire News, Kelly set out to build an independent publication where reporting follows the facts, questions conventional political narratives, and examines not only what government officials say, but what they actually do. Her work focuses on Tennessee politics, public spending, elections, government transparency, and the individuals and institutions entrusted with public authority.

A California native who now calls Williamson County, Tennessee, home, Kelly has a particular interest in the political and cultural changes affecting Tennessee and the importance of an informed, engaged electorate. Her Christian faith and commitment to constitutional principles help shape her perspective, while her reporting emphasizes documented facts, original research, and accountability.

Kelly is also a wife, mother of three, and video commentator who believes independent journalism remains essential to preserving a government that answers to the people rather than the political establishment.

Her philosophy is simple:

“We don't just tell you what happened. We tell you why it matters.”

TruthWire News is independently published and supported by readers who believe informed citizens, honest reporting, and government accountability are worth defending.
