Readers must demonstrate to news sources that this issue is important to us. News sources must allot proper time, space, and training for journalists to perform proper science reporting. Reporters and writers must be ready and receptive to reader feedback. One site, Health News Review evaluates health news coverage and assigns a grade for accuracy. Reporters are then notified of their performance. How else can reporters improve? Some suggest that instead of focusing (and thus exaggerating) the findings in a single scientific study, reporters should emphasize instead the methodology and context of the study. While this seem less captivating to readers, it puts the readers' interest first. This is not limited to journalists only, scientists and organizations pushing press releases should be mindful of this too. Information put out by reputable sources influence those that need the information most.

Another suggestion is to make scientific papers free for all. Removing the asymmetric information problem puts pressure on journalists to thoroughly examine the paper and scientific context for fear of negative feedback.
