But that is the problem, actually. Simple question: Is Prof Bouman the team leader that held all this together?
In answering this, consider this is from the ERC website, which is the major funding body of the project:

So to answer "What more should the media do?", my guess would be: at some point, mention Falcke, Kramer, and Rezzolla? And the ERC?
