Announcements of announcements are really lame. It deserves a collective term with journalism about upcoming XY. Is journalism lagging so far behind social media, that they need to give the news before it happens? Or is it just good PR teams that amplify the hype by triggering it early? For big visions it makes sense to talk about it before some release, but a new music album, an app releasing next month, all annoying.
