No the results are typically not made available to the public however, it sounds like if this was information in the newspaper, the reporter has spoken to someone involved and they "shared" the information. It could have from a legitimate request for the offense report, which may or may not have the results continued in the portion released but it could have come from the reporter interviewing someone attached to the case in some fashion.
If it is a blood sample, it is not likely to be public as blood results take a relatively long time to get and therefore are not in the offense report or probable cause affidavit. Breath test results are commonly put in the probable cause affidavit which is easily accessible by the public and media.
