Books by Eric Jourgensen

Two kinds of story.
One enduring question.

What deserves our trust? Eric explores that question through narrative nonfiction about media and truth—and through young adult fiction where student journalists race to keep history from being rewritten.

Everything I Told You Was True

How True Facts Mislead Us and How to See What’s Missing

A media-literacy book about the harder information problem: when every fact is accurate, but selection, framing, and missing context still create a false picture.

The common thread

Stories shape what people believe.

Whether the story is reported, remembered, generated, or imagined, the same questions matter: Who chose the frame? What evidence survives? What is missing? And what happens next?

The nonfiction examines those questions directly. The fiction lets young reporters live with the consequences.
