Emerging Research Front Paper

It seems that the primary paper that came out of my thesis is being recognized as an "Emerging Research Front Paper in the field of Space Science" by Thomson Reuters' Science Watch. They interviewed my thesis advisor, Joel Primack, and me about the paper. Joel always said it was going to be a fundamental paper and I appreciate the recognition of the paper but, I can't get over being a bit irritated at the way the interview is presented. Why am I running afoul of science writers lately? Joel was my PhD advisor, he is a big name in cosmology, and is still working in the field, but it was my thesis work and I was the first author. Why does the article seem to give him first billing? I am trying desperately to understand science writers, but am finding it very difficult as of late. Am I being too critical?
