Almost all research are published in scientific journal. News outlets then pick some to report deepening on many factors from breakthrough development to just pure chance. So this is not something strange.
Actually the opposite is the strange. I would be skeptical of any group the report something in media before publishing the results in a journal (or arxiv like this case).
This is not to say anything about this particular paper. I still have to read it eventually.
