It's call the Science Media Centre can they public short (2-4 paragraph usually) responses to new research publications by experts in the field. They are aimed at journalist but a nice overview of the strengths and weaknesses of the research. I've only been reading reading them for a couple of week but, so far, they seem really good.

It's like the Reddit comment section - if they only allowed civilized people in who actually know what they're talking about 😁

I really appreciate that it's not just one take, but several experts get their own summary, and bring their own concerns and interpretations to the front as well. That makes for a nuanced view in just a few paragraphs.

Thank you for this post, I've already bookmarked the link and I think this is the most useful post I've read this year 💜
