I would assume the relevant tech-journalists might be easier to catch
at PR events at trade shows, or tech-related PR events like CES.
However, starlink's own website does not seem to prominently advertise
specific rates anyway, but does stress the latency advantage over geo
stationary satellite links.
The rest of the residential market however has been trained for decades
now that the most relevant numbers are the maximal throughput* (well mostly
downloads only), hence I can understand that articles will mention regressions
of that number prominently.
I just stumbled over a German article
(https://www.heise.de/news/Speedtests-Satelliteninternet-Starlink-teilweise-deutlich-langsamer-geworden-7275243.html)
apparently presenting the same Ookla numbers for starlink containing a single
short paragraph about latency increases, but without explaining their
relevance, so exactly what you see in the other article as well; @Daniel
anything we could do to make your colleague? Martin Holland more latency aware?

In their "defense" a similar level of latency-awareness is often
displayed when talking about wired internet connections. (And from my
perspective, I consider absolute latency somewhat less important than latency
variation)
*) I am not trying to assign responsibility/blame here, I think both ISPs and
customers jointly "selected" maximal contracted throughput as measure of choice
to justify differential prices.
