This is an ***embargoed*** press release, meaning it shouldn't have been published until tomorrow. Your scoop is with total disregard for the embargo expectation.
Also, as for the judgment that this is an awkwardly written release, this the template used annually in issuing an announcement for the Press Club's Lava Tube/Torch Of Light.

Chill, out you two. The Hawaii Press Club of all organizations should know that information exchange is paramount in free society. The Press fights for the rights to be free from censorship and shackles. News organizations everyday release information under the guise of freedom of the press and sometimes that information does more harm than good. But that is the nature of the business; you get information, you try to scope the competition. So you got scoped by a non-journalist, live with it. What a bunch of whining babies! If this issue and your responses are indications of Hawaii’s news organizations, the Iranian Times comes out looking better than you.
I wonder if this is one of those, "how does it feel when the shoe is on the other foot?" momments.
