The writer of “Jimmy’s World”, Janet Cooke. Cooke wrote a article or story about a 8-year old boy named jimmy who was addicted to heroin. To some people the article felt false but then at the same time it felt believable. The outcome of her doing has gotten many attention form many people that wanted to help him. Once the president’s wife wanted to help find the little bit and help him but that was impossible. It was impossible because Cooke never gave out any information about the little boy because she didn’t want to get caught that her whole story was a lie. She once got an award for the fabricated story but had it taken back because of the lie. But the lie was figured out 15 years later. As of right now nobody knows where Janet Cooke is doing as of right now.
