They might be referring to her as "Ms Blake" because it was a news release. (I didn't look at the post on the ADPi board, so correct me if I'm wrong.) But in newswriting, each paper makes an executive decision on how people will be referenced. A really common standard is to use the full name the first time a person is mentioned and afterwards to refer to them only as Mr(s). So-and-So. I know when writing for my school's paper we leave off the titles altogether and just refer to the subject by their last name after the initial introduction.
