Some research institutes have strict guidelines, at what time, what
research results, in what way should or shouldn't be published, others
have less strict guidelines and apart from the different research
institute guidelines, some magazines (print media, TV etc.) seemingly
follow no guideline at all. The most interesting insights usually have
less sensational headlines and are more reserved with speculations.

"The researchers hope the new technique will help musicians and music
teachers in their quest to achieve the perfect vibrato"

C'mon! That's ridiculous.

It might or might not be interesting for musicology and/or for people
who program virtual instruments and something similar, but musicians as
well as music teachers follow another approach to play their
instruments, to use their vocals, an approach that requires another kind
of insight.
