Hi Mike,
Generally, it's people getting in touch with us. We do very little active media
outreach -- in fact, we probably do zero.
There is also lots of media contact in addition to that list -- for example

the Foundation has had contact - is that generally interviews requested
by the media, o

Nothing prevents you from starting your own mailing list if Cary won't. As I am

I started a thread on Wikien-l last month suggesting we start a
dispute resolution mailing list:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2009-June/101428.html

got (much of it from Thomas Dalton) was fairly easy to deal with.
April will follow shortly; thanks for your patience waiting for these :-)
