IMHO, I believe we should be more proud to be part of a project such a 
GNOME. I'm sure we don't need to detail explain what GNOME is and what 
GNOME makes: GNOME is THE leader in free software DE/project, and I'm 
sure journalists know it.

A press release gives a news and a journalist want to know that news. 
What are we announcing? That GNOME 3.8 has been released.
The institutional sections of About GNOME gives all the information 
about GNOME itself, but I believe we're here to celebrate a new release, 
not to explain what GNOME is: be proud to be part of GNOME, be sure 
other people know it.

My two cents,

Cheers,
