That's exactly how a typical English press release is supposed to be written, including the date (the top date appears to be from Theranos' CMS and the other one is the press release byline). Here's another example, a Caesars press release from today and the Bollinger release that made HN the other day: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/english-releases/mark-frissora-president-and-ceo-of-caesars-entertainment-announces-the-release-of-eighth-annual-citizenship-report-300497095.html http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/english-releases/mar... http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bollinger-motors-reveals-b1---worlds-first-all-electric-sport-utility-truck-300495264.html http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/bollinger-motors-rev... Notice the "About" graf which closes both of them. Those are standard, and joint press releases will usually have one for each party; the idea is to provide context for a reporter who is handed the press release, and the practice predates the Web and Wikipedia.
