That story got it right, using "shrank an an annualized rate", rather than the common "the economy shrunk X percent in Y quarter", with the X being the annualized rate, but not described as such, making the economy look like it shrank four times as much.

Even better IMO would be "the economy shrank X percent in Y time period, an annualized rate of Z"
