Better announcement for whom? For the general public, which largely has no idea what phosphine is but has a decent chance of guessing it is a chemical, that title would not give them any indication that the article might be interesting to them.
For most people the only thing that makes phosphine on Venus interesting is that it might be a sign of life, so you want to have that somewhere in the title.
