In the tutorial this line is indented, as it was when the method was first introduced. If you restore the indentation to what the tutorial actually lists you can see that the originally-added code for the was_published_today method is identical to what's shown in the 2nd part of the tutorial. The only difference in the snippets is the addition of the line for setting short_description, which goes along with the sentence from the tutorial "But you can change that by giving that method a short_description attribute:" So all the tutorial is trying to illustrate is that you can add that new line and control what is displayed in the column header. The existing method definition is repeated simply to illustrate where to put the new line -- if the tutorial wanted you to change code it had previously mentioned it would have said so explicitly in the tutorial text.
