What does 9月26日电9月26日 ("26 September electricity 26 September") mean? I'm reading the newspaper 人民日报 here in Beijing, and I stumbled upon the following:

新华社北京9月26日电9月26日，中共中央政治局委员、……

人民日报, 27 September 2020 (enlarge)

I don't understand what 9月26日电9月26日 means.  I originally thought it was a typo, but there are similar things online, e.g. here, here, and here.  I guess the 电 indicates an electronic version of the article in question, but I don't really know.
Question: What does 9月26日电9月26日 mean?
Google Translate just gives &quot;September 26, September 26&quot;.
The bolded text is the organization and time indicator and the second line, which is not bolded, is the real start of the main body. They are not connected.
9月26日电 means the message is sent on Sept 26th by 电报 &quot;telegraphy&quot;. It is an old expression when telegraphy was the fastest method for sending messages. But as &quot;Telegraphy&quot; in general includes the internet, the expression is still in use.
