@ketxxxRegardless of race my immediate thought went to the Reapers invading 6 months or less after the Arks left, we all know the colossal death toll in ME3 so it is 99.99% certain any next of kin is most definitely dead.
That's meta-knowledge. The guy talking talking would have no reason to know about the Reapers so would think that there is someone back in the Milky Way.
How is it meta knowledge when its quite widely seen that everyone in the initiative doesn't know exact details but the point in the initiative was to leave the MW to avoid a impending threat of considerable proportions. Even if you ignore that, and assume the dead person is Asari, it is bought up a lot that Asari live for 1000 years, not much over that, so by the time any message gets back to the MW, any Asari next of kin would of still been dead for well over 200 years so again, the announcement is somewhat daft still.

Actually, from Alec's logs and memories, we know that the leadership knew something was coming down the pike (Reaper Invasion) but that they didn't tell anyone else. So to everyone else, as far as they know, everyone is fine and civilization is going great back home. Ryder is the only one that knows that they may be the last living people of Council Space.
And like I mentioned before, it isn't a 600+ year loop to send messages back. QEC is instantaneous no matter how far you are.

QEC requires an uninterrupted communication chain and the FTL com buoys are probably near real time, but you need both ends effectively. The Initiative probably isn't letting people know that there is no communication with the Milky Way. Heck, the Nexus leadership probably doesn't realize that this is that out of norm. The only one that even knows about the start of the invasion is Ryder.
Your first point is easy. Space is huge and at the time you left, the Reapers were travelling towards the Milky Way. Easy for ships to "pass in the night" and miss each other. The Reapers may very well have known of the Andromeda expedition. And if they had won the war, probably would have caught up and destroyed the fleet mid-flight.
That pretty much shoots your own argument down I don't need to... the instant anyone tries to send that message they will see there is no active comm network back to the MW so the PA news announcement is still stupid.
Got another bug as well, the task the Turian gives you on the Nexus to find his buddy (which you end up finding in that dark corner at the "underworld" bar on Kadara) if you examine the body you'll get a email from that Turian thanking you before you have even talked to him and picked the task up. lol.
