Educational programs aimed at teaching children not to touch firearms have also demonstrated limited effectiveness. Media coverage plays a critical role in shaping public understanding of these deaths, yet reporting frequently frames incidents as \"tragic accidents,\" and omits reporting on evidence-based prevention strategies such as secure storage and the relevance of Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws.

In response, we propose a set of media guidelines, operationalized through a journalist tip-sheet, to encourage the inclusion of accurate data, diverse public health expert perspectives, and clear prevention messaging in reports of unintentional pediatric firearm deaths.
