As an expert, what you want when you work with many journalists is a dedicated journalist handler who is not an expert.
Make sure this person understands the basics properly and they make sure the journalist understands. After some time explaining the same topic you both usually know the common misunderstandings and easiest-to-understand explanations. Then, give the journalist a phone number and tell them to call for any questions whatsoever.
At least for us, during field measurements, that usually worked quite well, I didn't find any significant mistakes afterwards.
