Hello, I'm not aware of such a press release, but I'll ask round the office.
TFA stands for Today's Featured Article. Each day the front page has a different article which has gone through Wikipedia's review processes and has been assessed as one of its best articles. You can spot Featured Articles by the little bronze star in the top right hand corner of the article. When articles appear on the front page they typically see a big spike in reader numbers. So yesterday's TFA was seen by 37,000 people <https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/#start=2016-01-29&end=2016-02-17&project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&pages=Myles_Standish> compared to its usual level of 250 <https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/#start=2016-01-28&end=2016-02-16&project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&pages=Myles_Standish>. TFA is the top left section on desktop view, and the first thing you see after the search option on mobile.
