Science communication is traditionally understood as an issue of communication science or a sociological relationship between scientists and public. It’s rarely understood as a process of knowledge transferring and communication, and studied in the way of epistemology. This paper introduced advanced Bala-Goyal model about knowledge communication network in social epistemology, and applied it to the knowledge communication among scientists-public-reporter, in which public updated their belief according to the evidences received from reporters and scientists. This model will get a solution in the level of epistemology about science communication problems.
