I think you should be concerned. After reading that story I think more fondly of WMF and less so of Wikinews. I would expect more of Wikinews than to just issue press releases.

I was a little concerned with our article we over-emphasised the WMF.

Do you have PDFs of those documents? I'd like to know in what way they mentioned our work, and specifically our various projects - on their (brief) website list, they only mention Wikipedia.
But yes, congratulations on the article(s) to all involved - and congratulations to, eh, us (Wikimedia). :-)
(Side note - I had actually never before seen the page which is linked to in that list on WEF's site: http://www.wikimedia.org/!)
