I've worked at two accelerator facilities (RHIC and CEBAF) writing software for doing particle tracking and pseudo-data generation, and I always wished that they could divert more time into preparing articles like the one you linked. They're super helpful to laypeople, especially family and friends, but they're also great for getting students at universities interested in maybe coming to pitch in.
Sadly, the lab personnel (especially those coordinating outreach) are generally crazy overworked and don't have a lot of time, and the interns are just too inexperienced and lack the requisite domain knowledge to do it themselves.
If you ever feel like writing a paper on this I can highly suggest Ludwik Fleck as a starting point (his writing on thought collectives).
At least that's where I started when I needed a concept of marketplace for ideas and why laypeople matter.
