How much do you tell your readers?

I subscribe to a number of newsletters and bulletins that keep me up to date on insect, disease and various other 'problems' in horticulture.  Much of this information doesn't seem to trickle down to our readers, the ultimate consumers, and I'm wondering how much information other writers get and how much of it they pass on.  As examples...do or have you written about various types of potential contamination in fertilizers (heavy metals and more).  When whitefly was an endemic problem with Poinsettias did you inform your readers?  Have you written about the problems with diseases and viruses that may be endemic in the rose industry (or is this just a rumor).  And more recently, have you been reading and letting your readers know about the potential problems with Ralstonia solanacearum in geraniums?  How about the Asian longhorn beetle?   Sudden Oak Death (SOD)?
